Parent Education Night – Dec. 6

Mark your calendars for an exciting, educational evening next Wednesday, December 6 from 5:30-6:30.
Our teachers have heard you and understand that you would like more knowledge about what Montessori looks, sounds, and feels like, how it can benefit you and your child, and a build better connection to some of its vocabulary.
We will host a night with two prime topics being featured:
  • Grace and Courtesy (Communication, Independence, Movement, and Self-Discipline)
  • The Benefits of Montessori (how it differs from traditional schooling).

After a short introduction together in the small gym, we will break out into groups to discuss the two topics.

Any questions can be directed to sellis@mariamontessoriacademy.org or jhall@mariamontessoriacademy.org.

Ogden Electric Light Parade

November 24th is the annual Ogden Electric Lights Parade. Our school will be represented and the marketing committee has come up with a float that will represent MMA.

We are looking for students from MMA who would like to be part of our parade! The meeting place will be in front of the Ogden Temple. The parade starts promptly at 5:30pm. The floats will be lined up at 5pm.

Students 12 years and you get must ride in the trailer or truck. If you are over the age of 12 then you may walk next to the float. Students who ride or walk will be carrying white peace signs or holding tea lights.

If your child would like to be a part of the parade then we will have waivers to sign in front of the temple.

The parade starts on 22nd and Washington and then ends at 27th. My advice would be for our MMA parents whose child(ren) are in the parade park towards the end of the parade so when we are done you can find your child.

We have some, but if your child would like to wear glow necklaces and bracelets during the parade we highly suggest the more the better! (It is a light parade!) the glow wear is also our symbol to honor Troy and Molly Cox.

If you have any questions you can contact Autumn in the office or Ms. Kaley

Cultural Festival – Home Project

During this season of abundance, it’s important to remain grateful for the things we have.  I want to express my gratitude to the families in our class and the support you give your children each day!

Our next home project is due Thursday, November 15 with the cultural festival taking place Friday, November 16 from 1:00-3:00.  Families are invited to join us during that time to tour the projects with your children.   Each child will have a scheduled time to tour other projects which will be determined later this week.  If you would like to see walk with your child through the school, please watch for their scheduled time.

I am attaching the expectations and rubric for the home project.  This was sent home with your child several weeks ago when they selected their time period.

I look forward to ending this week with your child’s beautiful projects!
