The week of October 28

Parents

This week we will finish up our map studies as well as our habit of being proactive. In art we will be talking about warm and cool colors. This week is red ribbon week/spirit week here is the schedule of events

Monday, Oct. 28th – Spirit day: ‘Show your true colors and say not to drugs’

Each grade is encouraged to dress in tier designated color:

Kinder and early childhood wear RED,

1st wear ORANGE,

2nd wear YELLOW,

3rd wear GREEN,

4th wear PINK,

 5th wear PURPLE,

6th wear RED,

7th wear ORANGE,

8th wear YELLOW,

9th wear GREEN,

… or wear rainbows colors.

Tue. Oct 29th – Spirit day: ‘Don’t get mixed up with drugs’.  Students are encouraged to show their school spirit by wearing mismatched or crazy socks!

Wed Oct 30th – Spirit day: ‘I’m wild about being drug free’.  Students can show their wild side by giving their hair a crazy style! (Please keep in mind anything too distracting or uncomfortable for the student will result in a phone call home.)

Thur. Oct 31st – Spirit day: ‘Team up against drugs’. Students can “sport” their favorite team shirts or jerseys, as long as they are school appropriate.

Fri. Nov. 1st – Spirit day: ‘Saying no to drugs is no sweat’.  Show your school spirit by wearing a sweatshirt/hoodie to school, again making sure they are school appropriate.

We will not be dressing up in costumes for Halloween.  We have a few fun activities in class that we will participate in but we are keeping it low key so we can try to avoid the crazy.

In her book Montessori Today, Paula Polk Lillard said “The importance of parents giving full attention to their children . . . is not for the purpose of entertaining them but to establish a collaboration with them in their development”.  In a time when it seems like we have little to no time, please use what time you do have with your children to collaborate with them and not just entertain them.

Have a great week.
