Hello,  Parents
This class allows children to create and build at their level. The method of teaching in this class is Montessori which is very open-ended and hands-on. Many of the activities that will be given/discussed in this class are based on child interest and choice. This class will help children to be able to problem solve, predict, develop better fine motor skills and much more. “Did you know that when a child is given an opportunity to develop at their own level they are much more likely to be successful?”
    Parent Information 
I look forward to working with each family.  I just wanted to give you a little information on my teaching style.
• After each class talk with your little one and ask them what they enjoyed
• Allow them time to explain and give them your undivided attention
• Each week they will have a creation they made
Almost everything we are doing in class is open-ended… What’s that you ask???  Questions that have more than one right answer, or ones than can be answered in many ways, are called open‐ended or divergent questions. This way of asking questions stimulates more language use, acknowledges that there can be many solutions to one problem, affirms children’s ideas, and encourages creative thinking.
Listening to your child’s answers is even more important than asking the open-ended questions
o Wait 5-10 seconds for your child to think and formulate responses.
o Allow your child to fully answer the question without interruption.
o Show that you are interested in your child’s answers.
o Keep the conversation going until your child gives you clues to move on.
Six types of open-ended questions we ask at school.
You should try them out at home too.
