October Newsletter

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher conferences are set for the third week of October.    Please use this link to sign up for conferences.
Conferences will be 15 minutes long, so we are all going to have to be on time and stick to the schedule.   If you are unable to come to conferences during the scheduled times, please let me know and we can set a time before or after school.   I look forward to talking with all of you.
In class we have been talking about:
Insects/Butterflies
Seasons/Fall
Continents and Oceans
Apples
 Label EVERYTHING!   Please be sure to label every item that goes to school with your child or risk losing it into the black hole of lost items!

Cooler Weather:
As the weather starts changing, it would be a great time to check your child’s bag of extra clothes to be sure that their clothes are weather appropriate!  Please also make sure that your child has outerwear appropriate to the weather
United Nations Day
We will be having an United Nations Day Celebration coming up on Monday, October 24 at 3:00 pm.   All parents are welcome to attend.   Details to come as the event gets closer.
Montessori Services Fundraiser

We are going to participate in the Montessori Services Holiday Fundraiser again this year.   Montessori Services is a material supplier to Montessori families and classrooms.   The fundraiser will begin soon.   Depending on our total order, the participating classrooms will receive between 10% and 15% to spend on materials for their classrooms.   I  will also be posting wish lists, if parents would like to purchase materials for their child’s classroom.
