Discussing "The Power of Our Words"

This afternoon, veteran Early Childhood educator, Rick Ellis, held a discussion with Chilton House and Little School teachers on Paula Denton’s book, The Power of Our Words. The book offers insights and examples to teachers on how they might use language constructively and effectively in the classroom.

Tech Class for Teachers

Continuing this week's professional development, some Elisabeth Morrow teachers are attending technology seminars. Here, Ms. Rolle is demonstrating the latest version of iPhoto to Chilton House teachers. Later on, she'll be leading a seminar on the current and useful aspects of Web 2.0.

How does our garden grow?

...pretty well, actually. Here's what's growing in the Little School courtyard right now: sunflowers, purple beans, cherry tomatoes and one decently sized pumpkin. The tomatoes should be ripe for picking just in time for the start of school—there's plenty of them—some are ripe already.






Flowers, plants and vegetables are not an uncommon sight here at Elisabeth Morrow. Many classes will plant (and harvest) gardens annually.

Professional Development

Today, master teacher trainer, Kay Law, talked with some of the Little School and Morrow House teachers about Differentiated Learning (classroom practices and strategies that engage all students).

As well, our Chilton House faculty met with specialists from Handwriting Without Tears to discuss new techniques in the teaching of printing and handwriting to our youngest students.

Getting Ready – Elisabeth Morrow's Faculty Return

Head of School, Dr. Lowry, welcomed the faculty back this morning. The teachers will spend much of this week getting things ready for the students who return next Wednesday (September 9). We're all looking forward to another great year at Elisabeth Morrow.
