Dear Parents,
Dr. Lilia DiBello, Assistant Professor of
Education at Barry University and Chair of the
Department of Curriculum and Instruction,
is not a stranger to Lehrman. This Sunday,
when she will lead a discussion on language
and literacy at our “Hop, Skip and a Jump”
event, will mark her fourth visit. She has
led professional development and parent
workshops; each time she has remarked on
how impressed she is with our wonderful
faculty. (It takes one to know one, by the
way—I can vouch for her teaching ability as I
was in three of her courses during my doctoral
program at Barry.) An expert on early childhood
education, she said of our kindergarten
teachers, “If only I could clone them…”
One of the reasons she agreed yet again
to come to this “transition to elementary
school” is that she values the importance
of such events. The Harvard Family Research
Project (2002), in a comprehensive review
of research on positive transition practices
for children going from early childhood to
elementary schools, indicated that schools
should be pro-active in creating transition
experiences. Reaching out to families to
create connections between the school and
the family with events like our Hop, Skip and
a Jump is exactly what the Harvard report
is talking about. We will be talking about
theoretical issues as well as the nitty gritty
“the day in the life of a kindergartener” and
beyond. Mrs. T and Miss Betsy will describe
what life is like for kids in Kindergarten,
so early childhood parents will be able to
prepare themselves and their children for
what is coming next. Then Miss Mimi will
take the story to the next level. Morah Ayala
will discuss our Hebrew and Jewish studies
program. Second and third grade teachers
will be here to answer questions about the
beyond…!
We at Lehrman are interested in building
what Harvard terms continuous partnerships
of participants throughout your children’s
transitions, to help them achieve and be all
they can be while at Lehrman Community
Day School. We look forward to seeing you
there on Sunday.
