Each day, all your child's completed work is sent home with him/her. Please go over your child's work with them. It is very important to them. They are very proud of their good work! Be positive and specific: "I like the way you finish your work" "I like the way you color in one direction" "I can tell that you did your best!" "I can tell that you tried very hard!" "I can tell you took your time" etc. If it is a writing paper, let the child read it to you. Point out the best letters. (You do not need to mention that some of the other letters may not be so good). Through your interest, you give dignity and importance to your child's work.

Please do not compare your child's work with others. He/she is on his/her own timetable. Also, do not be upset if your child does not bring work home. The children spend their time interacting with the Montessori materials, and they do not necessarily have papers to show for their hard work and time well spent!
