First Week and First Field Trip

We have finished our first week of school! We got to know each other, did community-building activities and started becoming familiar with our classroom setup and procedures. As always during the first week of school, we had a few hiccups, but overall I am very pleased with how the year started. This coming week begins our curriculum and academic instruction.

We have also scheduled our first field trip! The lower elementary classes will be going to a children’s dance theater production at Weber State on September 21st. We need 4-5 chaperones for the field trips, so please sign up as you can. The performance itself is at 12:30 and I have estimated the time needed before and after, but that might be subject to change as we get more information. You can sign up for this via the link at the top of the blog or here. I am excited for this opportunity for the children!

P.S. I have updated the main blog page with several links across the top (procedures, year at-a-glance schedule, etc., link to snack/volunteer signup and more) so that they are easy to reference. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns!

Event Sign-Ups (Including Snacks and Other Volunteer Opportunities)

I am so excited for the coming school year together! I have heard great things about our returning students from Ms. Lana and I have enjoyed getting to meet so many of you over the last week. We have a great year ahead of us!

Several of you asked today about snack sign-ups, so I’m including the link to that as well as other volunteer opportunities that will be added later. This link is for all of MMA, so to find the specific events for our class, you’ll want to filter events by “Ms. Christina.”

Please note that although I have only put a sign-up on Mondays, you are signing up to bring snack for the entire week and we do ask that each family sign up for two weeks during the year. Our classroom is full at 30 students and we typically have two snack options each day.

If you have any questions, please let me know (email: cmiller@mariamontessoriacademy.org) and thank you to everyone who has signed up already!!
