Getting
to Know You: Each week this section will highlight one staff member and
their answer to the question: How do you express your creativity?
Melonie Arroyo, Toddler Assistant
Crocheting
has become a really big part of my life. It allows me to create
different patterns and textures in my household. I enjoy creating
projects in color patterns that catch my eye and become a one of a kind piece
of art.
Thank You Corner
We would like to thank Dave Degand, father of
James and Sarah, for coming to teach the Children’s House students about fire
safety. Dave is a Chicago fire fighter,
as are many Brickton parents. We very
much appreciate the work that our parent-heroes do for our school and our wider
community.
Brickton
Reads!
Early Literacy is critically important to
reading success. The American Library Association is training librarians
throughout the country to present a parent/teacher program Every Child Ready
to Read in community libraries. The program is available at the
LaGrange Library on March 19th. If you discover
your library offers this program, please inform Liz S. at Brickton and we’ll
pass the information along.
As you begin to make plans for summer, be sure to take advantage
of the wonderful programs at libraries- your own and others!
Montessori
Spells Success
A recent article in Business
Insider magazine titled 7 Tech Innovators
Who Became Wildly Successful After Going To Montessori School, demonstrates
the strong connection between Montessori education and innovative and creative
thinking. Many of the most influential
innovators in today’s technology sector are products of a Montessori education. The founder of Wikipedia, Amazon, and a
co-founder of Google, to name a few, are all former Montessori students. Enjoy the article and share it with your
friends and family to help us spread the word on Montessori’s
effectiveness.
