The Week of August 28th

Weekly Newsletter

With August coming to an end and September quickly approaching, we will introduce students to the first of Maria Montessori's "Great Lessons". On Monday, our students will learn of "The Coming of the Universe". This ties in nicely with the Parent Education Presentation in the Media Center at 5:30 on Tuesday. The Lower Elementary teachers will have some of the materials that are used for Cosmic Education set up and we can answer any questions that you may have. Please come and join us; we would love to see you! Our Lower Elementary Students will then perform at the PTA Meeting in the Multipurpose Room directly following the presentation.

I sent home login information for the Xtra Math and Moby Max Websites on Friday. Students can use these websites to practice skills that they are learning at school. If you have any questions about these websites or the logins please email me.
