Yearbook Coming Soon!


As the year is coming to a close, we are so pleased to see how much everyone has grown.  This is especially apparent as we look at the photos that Ms. Kathy and I have taken all year long.  I have made hardbound class yearbooks as an end of year project for nearly a decade, but this time we are particularly amazed at how quickly the yearbook has come together, thanks to our amazing 6th grade editors. We are so excited as we watch our latest group ready to leave the Montessori nest into middle school, making big plans and taking charge of larger works on their own, but we are also excited knowing that this year's 4th and 5th graders will be our future classroom models and leaders and they are definitely up for the challenge.    

We are almost finished putting in the final photos, art, and writing samples for the class yearbook and hope to have it ready to publish tomorrow night.  This was a challenge because my hard drive failed on my personal computer and I lost hundreds of photos of the class.  If you have any photos you would like added to our gallery, please feel free to email them to us.  I will share the link to our class photos shortly that we will also put in a photo gallery for graduation.  

Please note, yearbooks will be printed in black and white.  We hope to send you the color PDFs of our yearbook tomorrow so that if you wish to have a color copy to bind at school, you will have the opportunity to print it on your own in color. If enough people are up for printing their child's book in color, I could probably get a discount on the printing with enough willing to contribute to the cost.  The yearbook will have approximately 37 letter size pages printed on both sides.  We have the combs and cardstock for the binding that the children will use in class to make their own uniquely designed cover. 

Please be on the lookout for a new invitation for the End-of-Year Festivities that was developed and created by our amazing 6th graders.  The changes will also be noted on our class blog.  We thank you so much for making this a wonderful year.  We feel very privileged for the opportunity to work with your amazing children every day.  Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Moving into September

Image
It's hard to believe that September has arrived.  We have been busy in multiple creative endeavors in the classroom.  Last week, our students filled their portfolios with poetry and this week they have been collaborating with a partner on creating a script for a short play, skit, or commercial.  The partnerships were carefully chosen to expand every child's circle of friends and build a more cohesive classroom community.  Our students will be performing their plays next week in class.  We are able to record the performances and place them on the homeroom app for those whose parents have a photo release on file.  We also began more formalized Spanish and art lessons this week, which have been received with enthusiasm.  We have talked about how learning a second language is able to change the structure of the brain to make greater connections in language, math, and even music.  Everyone was introduced to our new artist brushes and their purposes for creating various types of line

March and April Announcements

We hope everyone has had an enjoyable spring break. We are so excited for our upcoming activities, but also sad to report that one of our families is facing an unimaginable loss.  Please read below for more details. Sad News It is with a heavy heart that I must report that one of our parents, Audrey Baggs, is losing her battle against cancer.  We are explaining this loss to the children and are sharing with you the family's gofundme page to cover final expenses and transitions for the two children that attend our school.  The school cookbook, planned and soon-to-be published by Audrey's oldest daughter, will also be used as a fundraiser to support the children during this time of heartbreaking changes.  We are grateful for the kind words of support during this time and have asked our classroom community to come together in love and unity.  You can find the family gofundme page right  here .
