A few bits of news…
Library link-Ms. Marco is having the kids use their timelines to create Power Points while at their library/media special. What a great way to connect the classroom to a special. Thanks Ms. Marco!
Thank you to several parents! (What would we ever do without our wonderful Waukazoo parents?) Thanks for Theda Luna for creating the large map of Europe we are using to identify and label countries, landforms, bodies of water, and more. Thanks to Lori Hotary and Karen Green for accompanying us to DeGraaf Nature Center. Thanks to all the moms for joining us at Moms and Muffins! J Thank you to Juliette's dad, Joep Bijlholt for coming in and talking about life in the Netherlands. Thank you to everyone for helping with the timelines, they are just amazing!
Thank you to Mr. Rodriguez for joining us this fall as he prepares for a career as an educator. We wish him the best of luck as he prepares for his next semester of student teaching!
HOLIDAY PARTY NEWS
Students voted last week on their wishes for a holiday party. They voted for a movie party, with snacks and hot cocoa! (If you signed up at the ice cream social to help with the party I'll be in touch. If you are interesting in helping with the party please let me know.) The party is tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday, December 18.
HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING
Students also voted on a charity to adopt in lieu of gifts. It has been an Upper Montessori holiday tradition to adopt a charity rather than exchange gifts in the classroom. I am happy to report that students have chosen to adopt the Harbor Humane Society again this year. We will be setting up a tree in the classroom where students can place their donations for the humane society. These will be delivered the week before Christmas. A few ideas for the humane society include dog or cat food, kitten or puppy food, kitten and puppy powdered milk replacer, non-clumping kitty litter, gas cards, or trash bags. A complete wish list from the Harbor Humane Society will be sent home with the kids this week. Thank you to the kids for their generous spirit in choosing a local and worthwhile organization!
