The Week of September 3rd
Field Trip
We were so impressed with the field trip to Massie Heritage Center on Friday. 3rd year students experienced hands-on, interactive lessons on the native people of Coastal Georgia. 1st and 2nd year students took part in a walking field trip and learned about Thomas Jefferson, Tomichichi, James Oglethorpe, and Mary Musgrove. Then we all spent time enjoying nature and the beautiful weather as we picniced together in Calhoun Square.
Reading Logs
Reading logs, for the month of September, went home on Friday. Directions for filling out the reading log are printed on the back. Please make sure your child is reading and filling in the log nightly!
Follow the link below if you have lost your copy of the reading log and need another.
Eureka! Math
We sent home Eureka! Math Packets to all first grade students. The rest of the class will receive packets on Tuesday. This math packet can be used at home for practice.They do not need to be returned unless there is a specific question that we can answer for your child. The pacing of the Montessori curriculum does not align with the Eureka! Math, however the packets contain lessons from which your child may benefit.
Do you have special talents that you would like to share with our community? Do you sew, knit, paint, draw, cook, write, do woodworking, garden...? Or, would you like to come in regularly to read with children or work on Fry words? Please send us an email, because we would love to have your help! Any parent or family member that intends to volunteer needs to register with the district. If you would like to help with Fall Festival, Culture Fest, Festival of Lights, or attend field trips, you need to fill out a volunteer application. The following is a link to instructions on how to get the the volunteer application for Operation Beacon. If you want to volunteer, in any capacity, you will have to do this. The sooner the better!
