Every year we have bi-annual Parent Days, where we invite parents to come into the classroom and be the child’s student. It is a great way for parents to see and experience the work of the children. Unfortunately we are not able to do that in person. We have these videos instead. Enjoy!!

Bringing Yoga Home
Little N.B. from our Primary class does Yoga in school and he wanted to teach daddy. Its wonderful to see children bringing classroom activities home. Thank you, daddy B for being such a wonderful student. Its a great way learn about your child’s day without “what did you do in school today?”.
Happy Year of the Ox
The Chinese New Years celebration starts with a reunion with family on New Year’s eve and extends the entire first month full of travels, visiting friends and partying. In that spirit Tong Le Children sang, recited a poem and reenacted a story to wish you and your family a Healthy and Joyful Year of the Ox.

Spiders have 8 legs, 8 eyes. Is it necessarily scary? Not to everyone! So why do we fill our children’s head that it is scary. Why give them a first impression that pushes them away from learning about this animal? Why close the door of their curious mind? We teach facts, encourage learning and exploration. The children can decide for themselves whether spiders are scary or not. This is how we Montessori!
