Preparing Our Kids for Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet

Written by Foothill Montessori on . Posted in Blog, Parent Education.

Childhood passions that seem like fads, sometimes even totally unproductive, could be mediums for experiencing the virtuous cycle of curiosity: discovering, trying, failing and growing.

A Montessori education is designed to provide a love of learning and to give children the means to find the information they need.  We hope to instill a passion for knowledge and the confidence to seek understanding. We provide avenues for curiosity about this big, beautiful world and all it takes to make it tick.  Our objective is to give children the tools they need to follow any dream they may have.  The reality is, they probably won’t choose a career and spend an entire lifetime at it….thats just not how the world is turning anymore.

This really fun article shows one perspective on preparing our kids for what (might be) to come!

All School Science Assembly

Janis Cantwell presenting at the University of Utah’s Faraday Chemistry Lectures

This Spring our Elementary students will participate in a Science Fair. To gear up for the fair, we will be hosting an All-School Science Assembly. We will have Janis Cantwell, Early Childhood parent to triplets, no less, and the Hostess to the University of Utah’s Faraday Chemistry Lectures presenting along with co-worker, Holly Sebahar, Early Childhood parent.

 

We are excited to be able to get together as an entire school “family” and celebrate each other and reconnect with the diversity of students across programs. We speak so often of community building and this is one way the youngest children get to see and interact with the oldest children. It is also a wonderful for the teachers to be able to all be together with their students and each other as a whole group. The Faraday Chemistry Lectures are fabulous, exciting, and entertaining and a sure way to get your student thinking about science. Our assembly does not come complete with a full chemistry lab, however, we are sure our mini version will be one your students will be excited to tell you about! The assembly will take place January 20th at approximately 9:20 am.
