Hello Families!
It was such a pleasure to meet with you and watch as your children shared their skills with pride and joy. I have learned that I should make these conference times longer to allow the children to shine!
This week, we will be preparing for our spelling bee. I am also bringing back spelling lessons and tests and will send out the lists tomorrow.
Although most of the birds and all of the bees are out of sight for the winter, they are still apparently a topic of discussion among some of our students during recess. And yes, I’m talking about sex. This is a topic of great interest to many and it is perfectly normal for children to be curious. However, it is not an appropriate topic of conversation at school. Please encourage your children to respect each parent’s right to teach their children about the birds and the bees and not to take that role upon themselves. Either Ms. Teja or myself are out at recess everyday. Anytime a topic is brought up that might make a child uncomfortable, please encourage them to come directly to one of us or to another teacher. Thank you!
We have a field trip to Union Station coming up on March 6th. If you are available to drive, please contact me! It is only through your generosity that we are able to make these amazing experiences possible.
The Gala is fast approaching and our class is expected to provide a basket for the auction. Unfortunately, we do not have a room parent. However, you can volunteer to take on this task and support MAPA and Maria Montessori Academy. Your role would be to coordinate the items needed for the basket, collect them, and assemble the basket. Thank you!
