Blog for week January 28, 2019
Hello Parents,
This week we will be doing a close read on a book called Under the Sea by Fiona Patchett. Each day we will focus on a different animal (Seahorses, Sharks, Angler fish and an animal of their choice). We will be doing some writing along with this close read as well. We will be talking about some of the animals that live in the trench and we will wrap up our study of the ocean biome by watching a portion of an ocean documentary. Friday will be the Fun Run. The morning class will run at 8:45 and the afternoon class will run at 1:05. You are welcome to join us. The fun run will take place in the big gym.

Parents, Our class is having a blast preparing for the Maria Montessori Academy Fun Run coming up soon! We’ve also begun to learn how to solve problems using character through Boosterthon’s character theme, MindSpark Mystery Lab. While they’re teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to solve mysteries, 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. Use our school registration code: 747234
Looking ahead: 100 days of school celebration (I will send information for Valentine’s Day and Parent Teacher Conferences at a later date) We will celebrate being in school for 100 days on February 6th. We will have several activities that center around the idea of 100. One of the activities we have for the kids is to come and count with me out in the hall. We use this as one of our assessments. A standard for kindergarten is that students will be able to count to 100 by 1’s and 10’s. We have been practicing in class but it wouldn’t hurt to do a little practice at home as well. We could use some donations/parent help on this day.
