A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
Thank you for coming in for parent/teacher conferences! It was a pleasure to discuss your children with you!
Keep and eye out on the blog for two new entries that will have login information on the use of Sumdog,a very fun and effective online math program, and Zing! an ebook site where your child will have access to books on their reading level. One of my favorite features on Zing! is that students can look up definitions to words in a "dictionary" while they are reading. These sites will not be used in the classroom, but students are more than welcome to use these resources at home.
We have our field trips planned for the entire year! Dates are posted below. Please pay close attention to which grade level and date (your child) is going on as we had to split things up according to available programs for the grade level of your child. All permission slips will be sent home today. Please send them in all together along with exact change of $9.25, completely filled out and signed by parents and student. If by chance permission slips are misplaced, please find a blank form on our blog in an earlier entry that should be printed and sent in. Due to limited resources, I can only send one copy of each permission slip. Thank you for understanding.
In addition to those field trips, our class will be attending a live virtual field trip in the classroom October 15, called The Good Egg Project. It will be a virtual tour of Creighton Brothers Farms as interdependent relationships are explored between organisms in an ecosystem and how every decision affects all aspects of the farm.
Field Trips:

Dear Families,
The Charles Ellis Montessori PTA knows that a strong partnership among our families, school leaders, and community at-large is important for the success of our students and school. That’s why we are participating in the National PTA School of Excellence program, which celebrates partnerships between PTA and schools to enrich the educational experience and overall well-being for all students.
As a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. We feel Charles Ellis Montessori Academy and the Charles Ellis Montessori PTA can achieve that together – and the result will be national, state and community-wide visibility for the positive impact we are making together at Charles Ellis.
We need your help! As part of the process, National PTA requests feedback from families at two points in the school year – the beginning and end. Your feedback in the beginning of the program will help to generate a customized Roadmap to Excellence, which will provide specific recommendations for improving our family-school partnership and achieving excellence.
Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at this school and complete the included survey. You should select the option that most accurately expresses how you feel about your experience. This survey is completely anonymous. Please complete the online survey no later than October 16, 2015, as the survey will close on this date at 5:00 p.m. TAKE SURVEY
Does this sound like a PTA program you’d really like to help with? Join us! Contact Gloria (gloria.ellispta@gmail.com) or St.Claire (stclaire.ellispta@gmail.com) to learn more!
Sincerely,
Gloria Rigsbee Tanya Melville

Upcoming HEALTHY snack weeks for 26 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we do prefer peanut free snacks so that the student may also participate in snack with the class.
Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers… The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it. Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
