Astro Camp

Your children should have brought home a red paper with all of the information for our next field trip.  This field trip is on November 27th.  The permission slips have all been filled out, the paper I sent home was just for your information.  Ms. Heidi has e-mailed all of you, if you haven’t heard from her please let me know.  Please respond to Heidi’s e-mail if you can drive or chaperone for this field trip.

Thank you!

Newsies

The field trip last week was wonderful.  Thank you to all the wonderful parents who helped transport us to and from the field trip.  Thank you to Ms. Heidi for arranging the rides and Ms. Jenny for staying with us to help keep an eye on your precious children.

 

Newsies Field Trip

Our next field trip is this Thursday October 25th.  We will be attending the musical “Newsies” at Weber High School.

We will be meeting at North Shore pool at 8:30 a.m. and will be leaving via private drivers at 8:40 a.m. to go up to Weber High School.

We will be picked up at Weber High School at 11:45 a.m. to be brought back to Maria Montessori Academy. Parent drivers please pick us up at in the white church parking lot just south of Weber High School.  This will allow us to get out of the busy parking lot where the buses are picking up the other students.

We will be back at MMA in time for lunch.

It is always appropriate to dress up for the theater.  Your children need to wear dress code or nicer clothing for this field trip.  If your child wants to dress up please make sure their clothing still meets dress code.

If you have any questions please let me know.  You should have received an e-mail from Ms. Heidi to arrange rides for your students to and from this field trip.

If you have any questions please reach out.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of the wonderful parents in our classroom who helped with our field trip on Friday.  We had a great time and learned a lot about the Constutuion of the United States.  Thanks again for driving to and from the field trip and for chaperoning.  We can’t do all of these wonderful field trips without your help.

Remember, tomorrow is an early out day.  Please arrange to pick up your child at 1:00 from school.

These dates are subject to change.

Field Trip Behavior: Since field trips take place during the school day, it is the expectation that students follow all school policies concerning student behavior, while on a field trip.  In addition, student safety and respect for our community are of the utmost concern, therefore, students who violate the outlined rules may have their field trip privileges suspended and may face further consequences.  The following are general field trip expectations and guidelines, although each individual field trip has unique hazards and will therefore constitute varying expectations.  Students must stay with their assigned group throughout the field trip.  Students shall respect personal and public property.  Students who do not exhibit respectful and appropriate behavior may be denied participation on a field trip if past behavior has given reason to expect that the student may not behave appropriately during the trip or if the student has not participated in class or is missing excessive assignments in any class.  Field trips may be cancelled for the whole class if students are not exhibiting respectful and appropriate classroom and field trip behavior.

Heidi Bradley is our room mother this year.  She will be coordinating the chaperones and transportation to and from the fieldtrips.  Prior to each fieldtrip she will contact you directly via e-mail.

 

 

UPCOMING EVENTS

We had a wonderful week getting to know eachother, learning new math, language and social studies lessons.  There are a few upcoming events you will want to be aware of:

Sept. 13th – Back-to-School Night – 6 – 8 p.m. – I look forward to meeting new families and seeing old families.  I have been working hard preparing the upcoming field trip permission slips.  Please come sign them at Back-to-School Night and get this years flip book full of a lot of important information.

Sept. 21st 2018 – Field Trip to Freedom’s Light, Celebration of the Constitution – This permission slip was sent home last week.  Please send it back as soon as possible.  If you need another one have your child get one tomorrow at school.

We are in need of a small cordless stick vacuum for our classroom.  I tried to fix the one I purchased last year, but I could only get part of it to work. 🙁  If anyone has a way of purchasing one at a decent price please let me know.  It’s much easier for the children to restore after lunch and at the end of the day with a vacuum.

Thank you to our amazing families.  One family volunteered to take our broken vacuum home to try to fix.  Another family ordered one for our classroom.  THANK YOU for listenning to our classroom needs.  You are awesome!

Thank you,

Ms. Amy

 

Freedom’s Light Field Trip

Your child should have brought home a permission slip yesterday for you to sign for our upcoming field trip.  Please sign and return to school as soon as possible.

I will be giving a list of all the parent e-mails to my room mother,  if you do not want her to have your e-mail please let me know.  She arranges the transportation to and from most of our field trips.

If you did not receive a permission slip your child can get another one from me at school.

Thanks,

Amy
