Original Works – pamplet

Today, Tuesday- October 29 I sent home an Original Works pamphlet. Even if you haven’t had your child do anything thus far they can still go on line with the information I sent home and you can order online.

One of our teachers today mentioned that when you go online that it may not have the correct information. The teacher just mentioned has contacted the Original Works contact information and they are working on resolving this issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is a problem getting your child’s information pulled up on line.

Thank you-

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan

Original Work Information- Please Read!!

Hello Parents!
We are so excited to announce that the Original Works order forms are here and ready. Please look for them in your child’s backpack. There are so many wonderful things you can order with your child’s artwork on it. These make wonderful Christmas gifts and grandparents love them. The best part of all is that all proceeds go to your student’s teacher for them to decide how to use in the classroom.
If your child’s artwork has already been turned in to Original Works, you will receive a packet with a picture of it and order information on the back. Please follow the instructions for ordering. If you order by Tuesday, November 5th, you will receive your orders in time for the holidays. If you are unable to order until after, no worries. You will still get your items, they just aren’t guaranteed by the holidays.
If your child’s artwork has not been turned in to Original Works yet, you will receive an order form as well as their artwork with the packet. Please fill out the order form and return it and the artwork to your child’s teacher. If you want to guarantee that you will get the items by the holidays, this needs returned to their teacher by this Friday, November 1st. Any orders turned in between the 2nd and the 12th can not be guaranteed by the holidays. This is the same if your child has not made a piece of artwork yet.
Please support your child and your teacher by ordering.
Thank you for all you do. If you have any questions feel free to email Ms. Jalee: jschofield@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
Thank you teachers. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thursday- Halloween

In class on Thursday, no costumes please!  We may chose to do some fun learning activities as well as some regular learning routines.

If you would like to bring a healthy snack to share with the children for that day we can do that.  I appreciate your support.

We will be making pie crusts- pieces to taste on Friday- November 1. I try to implement cooking a few times a month. We have made squash and cooked it. (We will sample this tomorrow). We have cooked zucchini bread and cookies.

Thank you-

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan

Gratitude Feast

GRATITUDE FEAST

Parents,

If you would like to help us in the classroom by making placements, writing thank you notes I would love to have your help.

We could plan on a couple days in November and get this activity under way. I was thinking either a Wednesday and a Thursday afternoon. Time frame of 1:30-2:30 p.m.

If you could get back with me as soon as you can and let me know what help I may have in the classroom I could get this set up with particular dates. I’m looking at the calendar and thinking Wednesday- 13th and Thursday-14th.

Gratitude Feast is coming soon on November 21st. This is an event where we invite and thank members of community like our local police and fire department, local neighbors, community partners, and elected officials. MAPA organizes this event where soup, salad, and dessert are served. In the past, students have participated in a variety of different ways – singing songs, making placements, writing thank you notes. MAPA will be emailing soon to solicit this type of involvement from our classes. I wanted to get this on your radar so you can incorporate this into your lessons and think if your class has something special they could share.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort in participating in our classroom.
Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan

Picture Day- Coming up- October 22nd- Tuesday

Picture Day- Please read attached letter from our office staff. These are frequent questions you might have concerning the picture day.
Thank you
Ms. Leslee

Some frequently asked questions we get in the office.
Does every student get their picture taken? Yes. This is for fall pictures as well as the yearbook
Do the students bring anything with them (i.e. order forms or money) Yes they can, but please encourage parents to order online. Any money will be handed directly to the photographer as the office is not permitted to take money.
Does every student need to be in dress code? YES!!! Again this will go in the yearbook, so every student should be in dress code. Please no hats or funny head wear.
What happens if I do not receive my photos or if they are wrong? Please have parents reach out to lifetouch with the number on the flyer. The office can not do anything regarding parent orders.
Will there be a retake day? Yes, Re-take day is on November 14, but please encourage your students to have their picture done next week so we do not miss anyone.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for all you do.
Autumn (office staff)
