December is Here

Hello All,

I am sending this post via email and blog since I did not get it posted earlier.

Happy December. The weather has been teasing us. Maybe we will see snow by Christmas.

Our field trip to Hill Aerospace Museum is this Tuesday, the 4th. It looks like we will have plenty of drivers for those who need it. We will be meeting at the museum about 8:50 am. Our field trip will start at 9. We will be doing a scavenger hunt as well as a simple machines workshop while we tour the museum. We will be there until 11:15, at which time we will return to the school for the rest of the day. Pack a normal lunch for your child, we will eat when we return. If you are taking your own child and not transporting any others, you can meet us at the museum and I will take attendance there. I will email you by tomorrow afternoon to let you know if we will need you to take any children besides your own. If you signed up on track it forward to be a chaperone, I will most likely have another student or two with you besides your own. The weather is getting colder, and there is an outside part of the museum but I will leave it up to the kids whether they want to see that part or not.

We have our holiday feast next Monday, the 10 from 11:30 to about 12:30. There are still spots open on track it forward if you would like to bring something. The link is https://www.trackitforward.com/site/389525/events .

That day is also a half day. Please plan on picking your child up at 1:00 pm.

Don’t forget this Thursday, December 6th from 5:30-6:30 is our parent education night. 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 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) and 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. We look forward to seeing you all there! Any questions can be directed to sellis@mariamontessoriacademy.org or jhall@mariamontessoriacademy.org.

Our next home project will be a STEM (science) based project and will be due about mid January. Be looking for a blog post later this week with more specifics.

Thanks for all you do.

Jalee
