Good morning and welcome to a wonderful week ahead.
Last week in class we focused a lot on math. The students received lesson in small operation, large operation, fractions and algebra. This week our focus lessons are going to be specified towards revising and editing writing- conventions (punctuation and spelling), word choices and transitions.
When we return from holiday break we will begin writing to our new pen pal school, another Montessori school in Rochester, MN.
This week the students continent reports are due on Tuesday and their Poetry book reports are due on Wednesday. The poetry book report was extended by two weeks. We have had several students already turn in their continent reports and their poetry book reports- thank you for supporting them with their long term projects.
FIELD TRIPS– the updated field trip permission slip, with the remaining field trips for the year, should be coming home this week. Please make sure to return it. We do have a few field trips in January coming up. Please be on the look out for an email from Ms. Jen regarding chaperoning and driving.

- Astro Camp– all levels, Tuesday, January 17, all day (looking for drivers/ chaperones)
- Bizztown– level 5’s- looking for 3 chaperone/ drivers (all day)
This Thursday, December 15- 1:30-3:00 we will be having our Holiday Feast and Singing with Marlene’s class in the North Kiva. This is a day for the students to share and show their GRATITUDE for you- please come and join us. There will be crockpot food and a desert provided.
Crock pot– I am looking for two more crock pots- I will need these by Wednesday. They will be returned Friday.
The following week:
- Monday, December 19 is Upper Elementary International Festival
- Tuesday, December 20 is Lower Elementary International Festival
- Tuesday, December 20 class gift exchange. Every year we do a class gift exchange- it is a fun interactive game and celebration. If you can have your child bring a gift wrapped that would be appropriate for a boy or a girl that is no more than $3.00. If your child is unable to bring a gift please let me know so I know how many to buy extra.
Studio choice flyers need to be returned no later than Tuesday.
Have a wonderful week,
Ms. Nicoletta
