Just a reminder that the International Festival for Upper El is tomorrow morning from 9-11!  Parents are invited to attend and enjoy all of the projects.  If your child did not bring in their project today, they need to be sure to bring it tomorrow or they won’t be able to participate.

I also wanted to share with you how amazing your children were today.  We had the most beautiful, peaceful work cycle this morning.  Everyone was working quietly and productively and there was such a peaceful feeling on our classroom.  We also put up a little tree in our classroom this week.  The children are using it to acknowledge kind deeds and give compliments to each other.  When the want to say something nice about someone, they write it on an ornament and then put it on the tree.  We are hoping to have a tree full of beautiful decorations and compliments by the end of the week.

I also wanted to let you know that I sincerely care about your children and I want them to be happy and comfortable while they are at school.  If you ever have a concern please talk about it with me.  I can’t do anything to resolve any issues that may arise if I don’t know about them.  Your children are amazing.  It is an honor and a privilege to be able to teach them and spend time with them.  I value your input as their parents and I know that your children are best served when we work together to ensure their success.  Please e-mail me at kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns that I can address.

Thank you for all you do!
