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 Festival- wk of Nov 21st
I will send parents an email to notify you which country. Thank you
Ms. Leslee
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

FUN RUN PEP RALLY

Tomorrow we begin our Fun Run Pep Rally at 1:30 p.m. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. I have sent home a small half size sheet which explains our Fun Run Fundraiser. If you didn’t get this please email me and let me know so I can send another half size reminder again.
Thank you-
Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan
This will start the next week. I’ll have more details to follow!!
November 27-December 1- Next Home Project
Parents,
Just wanted to make sure that can be thinking about our next home project. Each student will create a small diorama of an animal’s habitat and teach the class about the animal and where it lives.
If you have any questions please ask.
Thank you-
Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan
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!!

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
