Wow!!!

Can you believe it? We have been in school now for two weeks! The time has gone fast. Your children are engaged in lessons and learning. I am so happy and amazed at their eagerness to learn. We started implementing academics this week and having a great time. The students are adjusting well to full days now. The only issue they are having is that they are HUNGRY when it is time for lunch. Last week we were on early out schedule so we had lunch at 11:20. We have lunch at 12:00 on  a full day schedule. We do have a small snack in the mornings but it does not seem to be enough. Please ensure your kiddos are eating a good breakfast in the mornings. I have reminded them to do this too. We have had small lessons/discussions on practical life skills and responsibility. One of those responsibilities is to assist parents and/or wake up in enough time to fix themselves breakfast. I know as a mom of school aged children myself, mornings can be crazy and I can’t get lunches and breakfast done for everyone. So hopefully, your children will take an interest in helping with morning routines, if they do not already do so.

I wanted to also tell you all thank you for coming to your child’s Family Luncheon if you were able to attend. The kids couldn’t stop talking about how fun it was. Hopefully we will be able to do something like this again in the near future.

Have a great weekend!!!! See you on Monday!!!

Hello Parents!!

I just wanted to remind you about our indoor shoe dress code. As most of you are aware, we wear indoor shoes or slipper shoes while we are in the school. When we go outside of the building, we then put our outdoor shoes on. Please make sure you send your student with indoor shoes that can be left at school. As a parent, I know school supplies, fees, clothes, etc. can be burdensome. Believe me, I know this because I have three boys who grow out of everything fast and I simply cannot keep replacing things. If you would like help with getting indoor shoes, please send me an email and we will ensure your child has them for school. My email address is sarchuleta@mariamontessoriacademy.org

Thank you for being AMAZING parents!

Hello Parents!

The first day of school was a success! The students were kind and amazing. We got to know each other through different activities. As we talked, I got to see how excited they are to start a new year even though the classroom looks different and there is a new teacher. Each and every student was kind and welcoming but more importantly they were welcoming and kind to each other. I hope to nurture that kindness and watch it grow! Parents, you have some great kiddos!!!

Hello Parents!

Tonight is MMA’s back to school night! I am looking forward to meeting you and your kiddo! The Sneak-A-Peek is from 3:00-6:00 pm. Please come into the classroom on the half hour. If there are not any parents in the classroom when you get here, please just come in. You are welcome to bring your child’s school supplies. There will be labeled baskets and boxes for the supplies.

I hope you are having a Fabulous Friday!! See you tonight!

Welcome to Ms. Stacey’s Class blog! I am Stacey Archuleta. This is my first year at Maria Montessori Academy and I am excited to meet your children and give them the best opportunities to become the best versions of themselves they can be!

A little about myself…. I was born and raised in Ogden, Utah. I reside in Davis County. I am a mother of three boys ages 22, 14, and 7. I am married and love to spend time with my family. We like movies, swimming, paddleboarding/kyaking, and anything to do with food! Our family has 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 kittens, 1 Russian tortoise, 1 Leopard tortoise, and a chameleon. We may have met our limit on pet rescues. Only time will tell.

My studies are in Elementary Education and Special Education from Grand Canyon University. I will be getting my Montessori credentials in the near future. My education work background is from the Davis School District where I worked in Special Education.

My co-teacher is Denine Sullivan. She lives in Farr West, Utah and has 3 children and 7 grandchildren. She loves camping, riding Harleys. She currently helps in transporting rescued dogs to other states to their new homes. Denine is excited to be teaching upper elementary with me and getting to know each student in our class here at MMA.
