Weekly Newsletter 
The Week of September 16th



Thank You
Thank you to all of the families who took our classroom pets over the long weekend!


Field Trip Cancelled
Our first field trip to Tybee Island was cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. This field trip will be rescheduled and a new field trip permission slip will go home with students when the new date is confirmed.

Khan Mappers
Information regarding Khan Mappers went home last Thursday. We can see that some students have already started practicing! This is a great resource to help students practice math skills at home, and it correlates directly to MAP results. Remember, if your child is struggling with a concept, there are videos provided which can be used as a guide.


Field Trip Forms
Please fill out all field trip forms and return to school with $20 on Monday, September 17. If your family is unable to pay for field trips at this time, please just send back the forms with a note and we can work something out. Thank you! 


Classroom Observations
It is encouraged that all parents come in to observe our environment twice a year. Observations give parents a better understanding of what exactly is happening in the Montessori environment. Please use the link below to schedule a classroom observation.

Homework Options
If you need login information to access Moby Max or XtraMath please send us an email and we will get it to you. Login information for Khan Academy will go home after we collect data from the math MAP assessment.The weekly reading log is double sided, so it is good for two weeks.  


The Learning Community is reading!


















Volunteering
Are you interested in working with our students this year? We could use your help with science experiments, reading with students, and doing art projects. If you have a special talent that you would like to share with our community, please send us an email and fill out an Operation Beacon volunteer form.
