Kindergarten is a year of amazing development in these areas:
• SOCIAL SKILLS: learning how to interact productively as they become more social.
• CONFLICT RESOLUTION: learning how to problem solve effectively and independently with peers.
• LIFE SKILLS: learning how to be independent in self-care and work management.
• COLLABORATION AND COOPERATION SKILLS: learning how to function as a positive and productive member of the group.

“It is paradoxical that many educators and
parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without
seeing the vital connection between
them.” Leo F. Buscaglia

Global Citizens
At ISM we are in a very privileged position to have a wealth of culture at our fingertips. We encourage children to value all cultures and respect the differences and similarities.

Every Child is Unique
• Every child develops and progresses in their own way and at their own pace.
• At ISM we meet each child where they are with a differentiated program.
• Try to avoid comparing your child with others and focus on the growth and progress you see in them. (I know its hard sometimes…I am a parent myself!)

• If your child will absent or late please let me know via email or calling the ES Office. If you need your child to leave early, you need to get a gate pass from the ES Office.
• Birthdays can be celebrated in the classroom with a song and a healthy treat at snack time. Please let me know in advance if you’d like to do this with your child.
• Allergies: There are no walnuts allowed in the classroom.
• There are a few times a year your child will have the chance to wear a special costume. Filipiniana is in October and students can wear traditional Filipino dress.
