Dear Parents,
In an effort to make reading the blog easier for you, I've decided to eliminate a few of the tabs and post the weekly specials schedule on this page along with up-coming events.
Thank goodness it warned up today so the children could get the wiggles out! We enjoyed some play time in the sun this aftertoon just before dismissal. Over all we had an enjoyable and productive week. We got out the animal track works and learned to identify some paw prints we might see in the neighborhood. Some of the children poured plaster into a mold and made a replica of the animals paw print. This will continue next week, for those who would still like a chance.
Beginning next week our students will begin a book- buddy project with the other Montessori classes. Our 1st and 2nd graders will take turns going to Mr. Bucenec's and Mrs. Wojcik's kindergarten classes to help the younger students practice reading. Some of their students will also come to our room, so they can see what a Lower Elementary classroom is like. Our 3rd graders will pair up with the students in the Upper Elementary class and read together. Again, this allows our third graders to see what an Upper Elementary class is like. We will begin by switching on Tuesday and Thursday. My hope is it will be a beneficial experience for students all the way around.
Thank you to those of you who helped your child fill out the information for a personal timeline. We touched on that a bit this week and will spend more time with it during the coming week.
Enjoy the long weekend,
Ms Oaks
