Dear Parents-
This week we went on a fabulous field trip to Astro Camp. At the end of the day there were a lot of mixed feelings about the field trip, by the next morning everyone was talking about how they want to go again. This field trip is a simulated activity of a shuttle take off and landing, There is a lot of reading scripts, expectations and team building. We are also competing against another class- which is often a new and/or uncomfortable process considering Montessori is not a promoter of competition. All of these factors were a part of the heightened emotions. ( I will post pictures when the site is functioning again)
This Wednesday level 5’s are going to JA Bizztown. Thank you Brant, Holly, Ben and Mallory for chaperoning and driving. Level 5’s will meet at North Shore and leave for SLC at 7:30 AM.

Junior High Open House– Jan. 26 from 6:30-7:30. I would suggest that even if your intent is for your child to attend a different Junior High, still come and attend. It is very beneficial. 6th graders will be shadowing all day on Thursday, February 23.
