THE BASICS

Welcome to Room 109! My name is Mrs. Allyson Grillo Dillon and I am 30 years young. This is my third year teaching and at Washington Montessori. I live with my husband, Luke, and our two dogs, Zoe and Sanka. When I am not teaching little minds, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, walking my dogs, listening to music, and practicing yoga. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my niece, nephew, and godson. I am thrilled to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher for the 2019-20 school year!

In May of 2012, I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama.

  • Welcome to Our Online Classroom!๐Ÿ’ž

    Hello Parents!๐Ÿ˜Š

    First let me say...YOU GOT THIS!!!

    Keeping a daily schedule, similar to the one in our classroom, can comfort your child and ease any fears/uncertainties they may have during our time away from school. A daily routine—knowing what they will be doing and what comes next—is the type of predictability that allows children to self-regulate and learn time-management skills. Parents, a routine can also help you with budgeting time and trying to fit everything in to your day.๐Ÿ˜‰

    As we all know, LIFE HAPPENS!

    Life doesn’t always go as we expected and there is very little that is ‘normal’ right now. Please don’t beat yourself up if you and your child are unable to create a similar routine to school. This is a time for family and bonding (and you have obligations, too!) and whatever schedule you create will be helpful. Just remember, routine is critical.

    I have posted some "sample schedules" below. These are simply a guide to help you; get creative! Create something that works for your family. Make a Plan; Make an Effort; Do Your Best!๐Ÿ˜Š

    Let me know if you have any questions. I am here for my students AND I am here for you!๐Ÿ’—
