Maria Montessori Academy Fun Run Families,

Our class is having a BLAST preparing for the Maria Montessori Academy Fun Run coming up soon! We’ve also begun learning how to choose to live with character every day through Booster’s brand new character theme, MindSpark: Wild West. While they’re teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to compete in character duels, your students will learn five 21st-century character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world. Make sure to ask your students what they’ve learned each day, and together you can watch the story unfold on funrun.com!

Remember, we need your help connecting to sponsors who can make a pledge to help our school! Please make sure all pledges for the Maria Montessori Academy Fun Run are entered on funrun.com. The more pledges we get, the more incentives our class earns on our Pledge-O-Meter.

Thank you for your generosity and support of our school. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a great day!

P.S. Make sure to register your child on funrun.com. Search for your school or use our school registration code: 935184

International Cultural Feast

Parents,

Our International Cultural Feast is coming up during the week of November 21st.

Each student is asked to present a brief report of one of the countries in Africa. I have listed the following countries: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco, Ghana, Algeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Cameroon, Rwanda, Libya, Guinea, Zambia, Niger, Liberia and South Sudan.

I will assign each student one of these countries. I will just go down our list alphabetically and then each student will take one. The report should just include some facts about that country. Poster board size information is excellent.

The students will be able to share their report with other students who come into our classroom as each student in our lower elementary will be doing a similar report to share. The south side and the north side of the school have their assignments given.

This will be an event which parents are encouraged to come and visit as well. It usually goes about 1 1/2 hour – as I have been told.

I haven’t participated in this event before but I have heard teachers say this is a great experience to share other countries cultural traditions and ways of living.

Please let me know if you have any questions. There isn’t any particular way this needs to be done. Creativity!!

I will send out with the next note the alphabetical order of the student and the country of Africa to research. Thank you so much for your support.

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan
