Don’t tell them how to do it.
Show them how to do it and don’t say a word. If you tell them they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves. -Dr. Maria Montessori Villa Montessori School 2802 E Meadowbrook Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85016 Main Phone Line: 602-955-2210 Absentee Line: 602-296-1015 |
Permission Slips are DUE MONDAY! Look for two slips, bright orange and yellow, in your child's belongings from Friday. Orange for our field trip, yellow for our off-site evacutation drill which will also be on Tuesday after lunch and our field trip. They must be turned in tomorrow.
Spirit Week & Anti-Bullying/Pink Shirt Week from 2/26 - 3/1: We are celebrating all the rewards from the Fun Run as well as honoring Anti-Bullying/Pink Shirt week next week. Elementary 1 has a slightly different reward schedule than E2 so please make note of each day's events:
Field Trip on 2/27 to the Earth & Space Expedition Center: Be sure your child as the following on Tuesday when we go on our trip:
2/27 Parent Drivers: We are leaving at approx. 8:40 and returning by approx. 12pm. Please arrive by 8:30 so we can prep you for our trip and load students. Australia Research Topic Picking this week: We will be choosing our Australia topics this week. If you can help your child choose 3-5 topics of interest so they are prepared when we start selecting that would be very helpful. As a reminder, 3rds pick first, then the 2nd years, then 1st years. Only 1st years may select an animal, but they may also choose from any other topic not chosen by the older students. If you look up "Oceania on a map" it shows the Pacific Islands that would fall under Australia for choosing topics. It includes Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, etc. Topics and the report guidelines with dates to help your child stay on track will be sent home by next week so your child can grab resources around Spring Break which is only 2 weeks away! Time is sure flying.... Lunar New Year Celebration - A HUGE Thank You to Stacey and Christian Beal for planning our Lunar New Year Celebration and for Grandma Kathy and Grandma MiMi for helping us with the games and activities. We greatly appreciated your help, the goodie bags, and the students enjoyed learning about the Year of the Dragon! I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy your bonus Leap Day, too! ~ June |
