This week we learned about the first Montessori Great Lesson: The Birth of the Universe. We read stories from different cultures around the world and how they believed the Universe was created. We read stories from Melanasia, the Islands of New Guinea, Russia, Samoa, the Native Americans, China, and Greek Mythology. Today we had a special treat, some of the students came prepared to share how they believed the Universe was created. It’s been a fun week full of learning.
Your children started their Original Works project today. Ms. Rachel will be picking to our class to pick up the artwork for this awesome fundraiser on Oct. 3rd. Your child’s art needs to be finished by this date. This year parents will be able to order their children’s artwork online, so children can sumbit more than one picture. YAY!
If your child wants to create art for this fundraiser at home please remember the following guidelines:

In our Montessori environment we have a healthy mid-morning snack each day.
Please sign up for at least two weeks throughout the school year. If each family provides snack for two separate weeks then we should have enough snack for all the students to enjoy each day.
Please send in enough snack for the whole week on Monday morning with your child. We have a refrigerator in the classroom the students can store any snack food for the week. This is a very important part of the school day.
Please only send healthy snacks. Some examples of healthy snacks are: fruits, vegetables, crackers and cheese, yogurt, applesauce, chips and salsa. If you send something like chips and salsa or applesauce please also send little cups for the students to put the salsa or applesauce in. Thank you so much for helping our classroom with snack for the year.
We have had a wonderful first week of school. I have loved getting to know the new students in our classroom and catching up with the students who have already been in our class.
We have been practicing our Grace & Courtesy and learning new procedures we are implementing into our classroom this year. Ask your child about the ready to learn positions we learned today. We are all getting to know the new students in our class through team building and get to know you activities. I love learning something new about each student.
Your children received their planners today. This is an essential part of our classroom. Your child is required to write down what he has 
accomplished in the classroom everyday. Every evening please sit down with your child and discuss what he did that day, then sign the bottom of the planner. This is your way of keeping track of what your child is doing and will help your child learn responsibility. He will be responsible for reminding you to read and sign his planner each day. The school provided these planners for your children. If the planner is lost it is your responsibility to purchase another one. They may be purchased for $15.00 at the front office.
