Ms. Amy's Montessorians

Hello Families,

Our class is in need of the following items: napkins, dish soap and silverware.  I had a drawer full of silverware at the beginning of the year and now I only have a couple of forks and a couple of butter knives.

If you are able to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ms. Amy

Dear Families,

Please take a few moments to complete this anonymous Stakeholder Survey before it closes on December 14th. We need your feedback as change only comes when we know where we can improve.

The survey link is https://goo.gl/forms/crazDfVKIu8ENemv2.

If you would like to be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card, please take a screenshot of the last page of the completed survey and send it to info@mariamontessoriacademy.org.

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 ask Autumn in the office or me- Ms. Kaley. I will do my best to answer anything I know.

The cultural festival is TOMORROW, Friday and you are absolutely welcome to attend and tour the school with your child.

We will be having a set break schedule to ensure that students are with their projects for the majority of the time.  Please do not take your child from their project until it is their break, and help them return to their project on time.  The schedule of breaks looks like this:

We learned how to write a bibliography today.  If your child wasn’t at school please print off this paper and go over how to write a bibliography with them at home.  Bibliographies are a requirement for most of the home projects this year.  It is very important your children know how to write one.

I wish I had time to make up all the lessons missed by students when they are not at school.  Thank you for taking the time to go over this lesson with your students.

Hello Families,

We will be decorating our classroom door next week for Red Ribbon week.  I was wondering if there were any crafty parents who would like to help the students come up with a good idea and fascilitate the students creating a wonderful personalized door.  Please contact me at: aotto@mariamontessoriacademy.org if you are interested.

Thank you,

Ms. Amy

Please join us Thursday at 11:30 am for our classroom gratitude feast. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy each others company and a great meal.  I would like to extend a huge thank you to Heidi Bradley for arranging this feast for our classroom.  The students look forward to this event every year.  Last year all but two students had family attend, it really means a lot to them to have a loved family member come to this event.  Please look at your schedules and try to come join us.

Your children should have brought home an invitation to our gratitude feast, please look in their backpacks. 

I thought some of you might be interested in this fun event.  See the attached flyer for information on the upcoming free family STEM Expo night on Monday. stemexpo2018_fam_night

Tomorrow is the last call for original works.  If you haven’t sent your order into the school tomorrow is the last day.

Thank you!
