Family Math Morning
Come Learn Math the Montessori Way!
Thursday, January 28 | 8-9:30AM
You are invited to a Tobin Montessori Math Morning. Students will demonstrate how they learn math concepts through the use of Montessori math materials and self discovery. Please drop off your child at his/her classroom and go to the lobby for a quick explanation of what you can expect to see in your child's classroom. Teachers and students will also use that time between 7:40 and 8AM to "take their places" and
prepare for your arrival. Please feel free to visit any of the classrooms in Children's House, Lower Elementary or Upper Elementary during the 8-9AM time period. All parents are invited to the lobby at 9AM for coffee and a discussion on what you have seen in the classroom(s). See schedule & sign-up form >>
The Terrible Two Presentation
A few of our students tell us about their special field trip to the Cambridge Public Library to meet talented (and funny!) authors Mac Barnett and Jory John! Hear all about it >>
Spotlight on Joanne Cleary
Take a peek at this handy Q&A to find out what makes our amazing math coach tick! Also, be sure to head to Math Morning on January 28th at 8AM and meet Joanne in person. Meet Joanne >>
Parent Ed Corner
Create an Ordered Environment
To make things accessible to your young child: Pour drinks into small, manageable pitchers placed on a low refrigerator shelf. Keep cups within your child's reach – along with a sponge to clean up spills.
Sew Cozy
Miss Megan's mom, Elaine, came by room 282 on Tuesday morning carrying her sewing machine and lots of fabric! We were each able to pick out what color hat or neck warmer we wanted, and Elaine stitched them up in no time! Thank you, Miss Elaine, for taking the time to make us feel very special and cozy on such a cold day!
Our Planet
Room 283 Kindergartners used modeling clay to create the layered models of our planet Earth. The students proudly presented their work to their classmates.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
There is no shame in not knowing. The shame lies in not finding out.
–Assyrian proverb
TIP OF THE WEEK
Agendas can help children learn to manage their time. Children are under pressure to track their own time and manage multiple activities, such as homework, projects, tests, extra curricular activities etc. The efficient use of an agenda prevents children from feeling overwhelmed by their school work and gives them a sense of control which makes them feel good about themselves. It helps children to prioritize, plan and pace their tasks and is a communication tool between home and school.
