Hello!

Snack:

We are short some snack sign up!  We don’t have anyone for snack this week or next.  Please check out our snack sign up to the right of this blog.  Thanks!

Candy:

It’s that time of year where Halloween candy is starting to show up in lunches.  Our school has a no candy policy in lunches.  Please do not pack any treats.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

Projects:

Remember that your child has a book report due soon! They are due in almost a week!  November 17th is when I would like all of them in.  We will then share as many as we can Tuesday the 18th and then the rest Wednesday (Monday we have PE and Spanish back to back).

The annual International Festival is approaching!  This year, it will take place December 17th and 18th.  Lower El will present their projects on Wednesday the 17th.  Upper El’s will take place the 18th.  For our classroom, we will be doing reports on South America!  Most of our students chose what they want to do this past Friday.  Have your child start doing some basic research and have them find their specific information. Here is who chose so far:

This Wednesday, our school will become an open house to our MMA families and to the community!  Join us from 6:30-8:30.  All the teachers will be showing and demonstrating works and giving lessons to those brave enough to try!  If you know anyone who is interested in Montessori or wants to know more, please bring them along!  I will be demonstrating our Word Study program.

Friday:

This coming Friday is an Early Release!  Students will be dismissed at 1pm.  Kristy, I was wondering if you’d be available to do yoga with the kids this Friday.  Let me know!  I was thinking from 9:00-9:30.  I’ll take attendance and have morning circle, then we can start.
