Dear LAPMS Parents and Families,
February was a busy month for LAPMS students. We celebrated love and friendship as children
exchanged cards in the classroom during Valentines Day. Children immersed themselves in the rich
cultures of Asia as they learned about the Chinese New Year. We also celebrated the leaders of our
nation and enjoyed activities related to Presidents Day.
Our Talent Show was a success! Children were so proud to showcase their unique talents. It was a
celebration of music, personality, and individuality. Our stage was alive with talent, and our
courtyard filled with proud, smiling parents! Thank you to all the parents who attended our event
and showed their support.
In celebration of reading and literature, we are celebrating Dr. Seuss birthday with our annualReadathon, which is on Tuesday, March 3rd. Children may come dressed in pajamas and share a
book to read with their friends. Parents may sign-up to read a book to their childs classroom after
morning circle time.
This March, we are also holding our First Annual Science Fair on Thursday, March 26th. Children
immerse themselves each day in the world of science as they explore materials in our Montessori
cultural shelves, whether it is zoology, botany, geography, physics, or chemistry. This is their
opportunity to showcase what they have learned and apply the scientific method, a concept they are
learning in class. We look forward to viewing the childrens unique projects!
Sincerely,
Ms. Aurelia
Special Thanks. 4

Small blankets that are fitted in the

What Parents Are Saying about Learnand Play Montessori at Niles
I personally like the teachers and management of LAPMS Niles
for doing their best at work and considering parents requests
based on individual preferences. My son has learned and
enjoyed every moment at LAPMS with his loving and caring
teachers. In my opinion LAPMS is like a second home filled
with a variety of academic and extracurricular activities for
children at all levels. This is the best Montessori
school in Fremont. My special thanks to Ms. Kiranand Ms. Aurelia for every task you have done so far.

Lets take a close look at the way the day
unfolds for a Montessori child. After the
morning circle, the morning work period
begins. During this time, the child may
receive Montessori presentations from a
teacher or choose a material to work on.
The child walks around, glancing at the
materials on the shelves. They are
inviting, colorful. Yet the child wanders
for a few more minutes, all the while the
teacher is observing close by, ready to
guide.
Just as the teacher begins to approach,
the child walks over to the language shelf
and examines a puzzle. She walks over to
a crate near one of the shelves and takes
a rug, arranging it carefully on the carpet.
She completes the puzzle within minutes,
and puts it back on the shelf.
Many Montessori children begin their
work period this way. It might take the
child a few different jobs to find that
one work that would captivate her. The
child is free to work on the material for as
long as she needs. The child will then put
the work away, feeling refreshed and
peaceful.
The uninterrupted work cycle is an
essential part of any Montessori
classroom. The work cycle begins with
preparation of the workthe child taking
a rug and laying it on the carpet, and then
choosing a material. The child will then
engage in the work, and put it away when
finished.
This is why the work cycle must be
uninterrupted. The children need
adequate time to choose productive
work, to focus on the activity chosen and
work on their own pace, and finish the
task. A period of rest is necessary as well,
as children eat snack, leaf through a book,
or socialize briefly with friends without
interrupting those who are working.
Then, the cycle begins again.
The difference within the child is palpable
after completing a work cycle. Children
become engrossed, and the quality and
level of concentration is deeper. As thesequence repeats itself, the child is almost
transformed. The child is more joyful,
refreshed, peaceful.
Teachers protect the work period with
their life! Parents can help by minimizing
interruptions in the classroom. Here are a
few tips:
Arrive on time. We all have
busy schedules, but arriving
before the morning circle avoids
interruptions.
Dropping off during work period
is sometimes unavoidable. Helpchildren maintain concentration
by whispering. If you must
speak to a teacher, take her
aside and speak in hushed
voices.
If you are picking up your child
early, inform the teacher
beforehand so that your child
has ample time to prepare and
gather her things.

Dear Parents,
February was a busy month! Thank you to all the Room 2 parents
who have visited our classroom as guest presenters. One of our beloved
parents, Ms. Ingrid, visited our classroom and presented the classic works
of Pablo Picasso, and showed children how to create their very own cubist
artwork. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
We also enjoyed a guest presentation on Chinese New Year from Mr.
Chao-Lin, a Room 2 parent. Thank you so much for the animated and
informative PowerPoint presentation, and for the red envelopes for the
children. Students loved creating their lucky spring cards to take home and
hang on their walls.
We appreciate all your support!

Dear Room 4 Parents,
So far its been a great year! We really appreciate the support
and encouragement that you all constantly show us. February has
been an exciting month. Aside from all the projects and activities that
we did, the children made Valentines Day cards for the children in the
Childrens Hospital in Oakland. We hope the children there will enjoy
them!
Spring is approaching and we are all looking forward to the lovely
warm weather.
Thank you,
