On Thursday we got to go to our first parent teacher conferences! We met with Mrs. Betsy at 8:30 on Thursday morning. She could not say enough good things about McKenna. She told us that in 3 months she had already advanced to the second year curriculum in some modules.
There are 6 curricula that Kenna can choose from daily: practical life/art, sensorial, math, language (reading/writing), cultural (general, botany, zoology, geography, time/history) and peace. Kenna spends a lot of time in practical life and art. But she is pretty balanced across all of the topics. Montessori philosophy allows students to choose what they work on and the instructoress will encourage them to move onto more advanced topics if they are ready. What I LOVE about this school is that they log everything that each child does and they are measured against their own progress.
We are SOOO proud of Kenna. Mrs. Betsy just loves her and was very impressed at her desire to learn, ability to get along with others and leadership ability. We sat there and were the typical glowing parents.
Kenna - we are SO proud of you and the hard work you are doing. I hope you continue to have this hunger for learning throughout your life! Good job little one!
