What Happened to the Sun?

"What happened to the sun?"

That was the question of a 2-year old Toddler learner of Kiddie Toes Montessori School.

All the learners -- from Toddlers to 2nd Graders -- went out of their classroom last July 22, 2009 to look at the sun.

It is the longest total solar eclipse in our lifetime, and the second longest in recorded history, next only to the June 20, 1955 eclipse in Manila.

It is only partial in the Philippines with an eclipse magnitude of about 50% in Metro Manila. However, in Santiago City, Isabela, the learners were lucky enough to witness more than 50% eclipse.



So the learners and teachers went down at around 9:30am to witness this once in a lifetime event. They had welding glasses and filter strips to protect their eyes from the sun.

They were also made to draw in a paper what they observed during this phenomenon.

Kiddie Toes Team Building

On June 12 and 13, 2009, the teachers and management of Kiddie Toes Montessori School had their annual teambuilding and assessment. This was held at the Villa Diana Hotel and Resort in Cordon, Isabela.

This beautiful place was the backdrop for the different activities prepared by the facilitator for the teachers and staff of KTMS.

Aside from work-related activities, the teachers and management were also given a day of pure fun and bonding.

Parents' and Guardians' Orientation

Last 06 June 2009, the parents and guardians of Kiddie Toes Montessori School learners were invited to attend the Parents' and Guardians' Orientation Day.

During this activity the teachers of KTMS presented the basic framework of Montessori education, as well as the curriculum of the school (preschool and lower elementary).

The parents and guardians were also informed of the different innovative activities developed by the consultants of KTMS, which will ensure that the learners are given holistic education and elevated learning.
