Welcome to Ms. Jazmin and Ms. Marianne’s classroom community in rooms 27 and 29! As time is moving on, our summer is coming to a close, it is time to begin to think about the opening of the 2021-2022 school year. We would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your child into our 6-9 Lower Elementary classroom, grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, whether they are brand new or returning. Throughout this school year, each first, second, and third year student will be experiencing many new and different avenues in their education with the Montessori philosophy leading the way.
First, we want to help you understand our goals for our community. We have built one cohesive classroom with two Montessori certified and trained lead guides: Ms. Marianne Howze and Ms. Jazmin Corbell, and one teachers’ assistant. Ms. Marianne and Ms. Jazmin will be presenting lessons in English/Language Arts, Arithmetic and Geometry and Cultural (Science and Social Studies).
While each of us have a set number of students on each of our rosters in an official capacity, we will treat our students as one community. We will conduct our parent teacher conferences together so that we may better communicate your child’s needs and tendencies in each area. The only time the students are separated by roster is for Explorations and come Boosterthon/Fun Run time! Children on Ms. Marianne’s roster are called Blue Jays and students on Ms. Jazmin’s roster are called the Cardinals. Together we are The Learning Community.
Our main mode of communication is via our classroom blog, as well as email, and Remind App. Our Remind App class code is ac3c9. Please join upon receiving this letter. If you are a returning family and have already joined our Remind, there is no need to join again. We post a weekly newsletter with important news on our blog, generally on Sundays. Our blog address is www.TheLearningCommunityPage.BlogSpot.com. Because we are functioning as a unit, we will send all emails with either teacher copied on the email. We ask that you do the same as well.
We realize that guiding and teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. We will do our best this year to ensure that each student has a motivating and safe learning experience in the classroom. However, we cannot do this alone: we need your help. The four of us; teachers, parents, and students, need to be partners in the learning process. We ask that families encourage their child at home by helping to ensure that they are making the best choices they can make in the classroom, whether it be academic choices or social choices.
We look forward to meeting each of you during Open House as well as welcoming back familiar faces! Enjoy your last days of vacation. Ready or not, here we go!
Warmly,
Ms. Marianne and Ms. Jazmin
