Somehow I deleted the newsletter from October 19 and this is the only way I was able to recover it. Please find October 26 Newsletter in the post before this one.

Week of October 19, 2015
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
We had two student presentations today that were the culmination of weeks of research and they did a magnificent job! The class asked many questions after the presentations and they were able to answer all of them with a lot of detail which showed a deep understanding and internalization of the content.
Our Montessori certification training has continued this week every day after the school day. We focused on completing the lessons in the Geometry album that we began during part of our summer training. This was our first live webinar experience in our training. We had Gary Davidson with us in person and we had Rob Keyes as our webinar teacher. I can't wait to implement my new knowledge! Also, we truly thank all parents that have donated dinner, deserts, etc. for our training.
We also had the pleasure of hosting Gary Davidson in our Montessori 101 Parent Education evening focusing on the Montessori three year cycle! I can tell you from experience that the advantages of a three year cycle are beyond what can be put into words. I encourage you all to arrange observation windows with me so you can see it all in action in your child's classroom. It's a beautiful site to behold!
Please remember that we have field trips next week and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Please remind your child to dress for the weather as well. We will be having a picnic lunch in the square if time permits.
For those that have volunteered to send in baked goods for the Fall Festival classroom pet fundraiser, feel free to send the treats in with your child in the morning. We have refrigeration available to us if needed. I am still looking for a few more parents/children that are willing to take a turn manning the table. I have had one parent say they will help with the table, but I know that they would like to enjoy the rest of the festival with their own children as well. The official times are 4-7pm. If five more parents volunteer, then they would only have to man the table for 30 minutes a piece. Also, Hipster Hound has so graciously offered to give a monetary donation towards our efforts!
Below are some fall activities in our area to enjoy with your children. Make sure to go to the respective websites for more information and details:

Upcoming HEALTHY snack weeks for 26 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we 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.
