Hello All! We have had a great first week back to school! We definitely have hit the ground running. The children are all working so hard and have been so peaceful all week.
This month we will be learning all about Careers. The children will learn about many different occupations and will be asked to choose one they think they would like to do when they grow up.They seem very interested already and all want to try every profession we discuss. ;)
Having said that... We are asking all parents to come in and talk about what they do with the class. There is a sign up sheet on our classroom front door. Dates and times are flexible and we are happy to work around your schedule. We are looking for a 10-15 minute or longer presentation that is engaging and memorable. Tools of the trade is a key point as well as uniforms. Thank you in advance for your participation.
Book orders have also gone out and they are in the children's file folders. They are due back to me (Ms. J) by next Friday, January 18th. Please hand in checks only made out to scholastic book clubs.
The school will be hosting a Journey and Discovery for the parents on Saturday, January 19th. Information is available in the office for those that are interested. It is a great resource if you're looking for more information about the Montessori Method and what we do in each class and why.
MAU will be closed Monday, January 21st in observation of Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday. Please make alternative child care arrangements on this day if necessary.
Lastly, we will be taking a field trip to Pretend City in Irvine, CA at the end of this month. The exact date is not set but we have put our request in for Thursday, January 31st and hope that try will grant us that date. I will let you know as soon as we are given confirmation. The reservation process has been complicated but it is a wonderful place and worth the wait.
We hope to have a great year... It's hard to believe its half over. Thank you for all that you do!
Cheers,
Ms. J
P.s. A special thank you to those that participated in the class and personal holiday gifts for Stevie and I. We were overwhelmed with all the love we received and the generosity of everyone. It was a great feeling!
