Parent Education Night - Recap & Resources

Parent Education Night last Thursday was a terrific event; many thanks to all who were able to attend. After a presentation on the History of Montessori and how movement, language, peace education, freedom and responsibility are practiced and guided in the Montessori classroom, participants spread out around the school. They watched Odyssey presentations, toured classrooms to see Montessori principles in practice or attended the Upper Elementary Key Experience Widgiwagan meeting.  

If you couldn't make to this Parent Education Night, we look forward to seeing you at the next Parent Education Night: November 20th at 6PM.  

Below are resources shared with participants this past Thursday:
