Ms. Jazmin & Ms. Marion
Week of January 4, 2016
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
This week we received most of our materials from our latest Donors Choose project! Our entire kitchen is set up. I plan on using it for our Chinese New Year celebration Monday February 8, the actual day of Chinese New Year!
We are moving our continent study focus from Asia to North America after our Chinese New Year celebration. We have already received two North American postcards!! Please spread the word to your friends and family that live anywhere in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America as it's called, and the Caribbean. Social media such as Facebook seems to be a really effective way to communicate this need. Feel free to post the address when and if you post on social media. They may send the postcards addressed to:
Charles Ellis Montessori Academy
Ms. Jazmin Room 20
220 E. 49th St.
Savannah, Georgia 31405
Please remember that students are encouraged to be working on their research project presentations at home as well as in the classroom. Like I mentioned in the last newsletter, students have chosen new science and social studies topics and they were given due dates of January 22, January 29, and/or February 5. This information is posted on our board in the classroom as well. Please keep in mind that while we do not assign homework per say, reading nightly is important and Compass Learning is available online and is a fantastic resource.
As I shared in an email earlier this week, Friday February 26th from 8-9 we will be celebrating Donuts with Dads! This is an opportunity for fathers and father figures (family friends, uncles, grandfathers...) to come into our classroom and be a part of our community. This event, and later Muffins with Moms, is one of the students' absolute favorite year after year. They just adore for their loved ones to come and visit them where they spend most of their time. This is just a quick visit where the window is open for one hour. Visitors may stay for the entire hour or stay for as long as your schedule permits. Please be sure to sign in at the office and get your visitor's sticker. I am asking that donuts, orange juice, and napkins be brought in that morning, unless you think you will be coming later in the hour, then I would prefer it is sent in the day before. Donuts with Dads Sign Up
Please remember to sign up for conferences. Here is the link: Winter Conferences

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.
