Senior’s Holiday Tea/Concert Rehearsal

There will be a Seniors Tea at the upstairs level of our building on December 11^th 2024. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have a practice run before the big day and also support our local community of elders.

There have been many studies on intergenerational learning for both seniors and children. If your children have grandparents at home or close by, you can affirm to have witnessed a harmonious union. Children understand the importance of elders and these interactions have a calming effect on most children. Our young children will bring energy with them that can be infectious and make a tremendous impact for some elders who may not have family or anything else planned for the holidays. We feel honoured to offer some excitement and give them some joy.

At 2:45 pm we will head upstairs and sing for 10-15 minutes and head back downstairs around 3:00 pm.

Come and join us for a Coffee, Tea and Montessori Morning as we take you on a journey through the math area.

Ms. Stewart and Ms. Malfatti welcome you, as we walk through the three years of mathematical concepts in the Casa environment.

We will explore some of the theory behind the exercises and present some key materials that contribute to concrete experiences and exploration. We will share how children gain an understanding of quantities and the value of numbers to ten, all the way up to the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. We will discuss how our Montessori materials carve the path towards a deeper understanding and guide our children to abstraction for later work in the Elementary years.

Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Format: Presentation and Open Discussion

Coffee, tea and light refreshments will be provided.

Casa Parent-Teacher Meetings will take place on the evenings of November 13th, 14th and 18th and for a full day on the November 15th PA Day.
