[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One new observation (for this thread) -- it seems to me that more kids are crying at drop off each morning. Anyone else notice this, or perhaps we're just arriving during a flood of tears by coincidence? Because the teachers are in their rooms, are there enough adults to help ease the young ones?[/quote]

It did seem chaotic this morning.  I guess it's getting worse as the younger kids join?  (They are still phasing in the youngest kids).  It seems that there are a lot of adults around though.  As a parent of one of the older children in the primary class, it does concern me that they need to spend so much time teaching the three year olds about being in a classroom.  Not that isn't important for the 3 year olds, but the older kids are less likely to be upset at drop off and more likely to know how to follow instructions or stand in line and a lot of the routine is geared at getting the youngest kids ready while the older ones just follow along.[/quote]

I will say if you are a parent of one of the older primary kids, one of your daughters was so kind to my little guy yesterday.  I watched her help him at the playground, walk him back to class, find his shoes, etc.  This is the kindess side of Montessori at work.  Thank you![/quote]

I love this- it is such a confidence booster for the older children, too![/quote]
