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.

Casa families, please check your emails to register with your child’s teacher.

In keeping with the guidelines of our AMI Montessori approach we wanted to ensure the children do not come to school in any costumes. Children and staff are invited to  dress in orange and black.

Halloween can be uncomfortable and scary for children under the age of six. As educators we want to ensure we are doing all we can to meet the developmental needs of our children. Although we are able to distinguish the difference between reality and fantasy, this is almost impossible for young children under age six.

During the week we will be carving pumpkins, roasting seeds, baking and reading books about the beautiful season of autumn.

The children can wear an orange shirt to school to recognize the Indigenous children who endured the residential schooling system, and its trauma that continue to be felt to this day.
