The Week of September 18th

 The Blue Jays Weekly Newsletter 




Asia

This week we introduced our cultural study of Asia.  We will be studying the biomes, animals, and people of the continent. If your family has artifacts from the continent of Asia, that you would like to share with our community, please send them in with your child. You can send an email or Remind message with details about the objects to help us understand their significance. 



Magnets

We also began our study of magnets. Students will be conducting experiments in the classroom and exploring the ways in which magnets work and are used.



Please plan to join us in the Media Center on September 24 at 9:30am. 




Parent Survey

This is a survey for the matching of new and veteran parents at Charles Ellis Montessori Academy.  Often times new parents have questions and/or concerns that could be best answered by parents that have experience with Charles Ellis and/or Montessori education.  If you are interested in joining up to receive information, or if you feel that you have information to share, please sign up accordingly.  


School Photo Packets



School Photos

  • Photo sales are a fundraiser for our school!   
  • All the information you need is in the photo packet.
  • You should pay for the pictures that you want to keep and/or RETURN the rest of the packet, if anything is left.
  • Families may purchase the photos online at strawbridge.net using the code found on the price flyer in your student's photo packet OR you may send cash or check (made payable to Strawbridge) to school with your child in the envelope provided.

The deadline to order/return photos is September 30th. 


Calling all volunteers!

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 and work on Fry words?
