Welcome to the New School Year 2012-2013
Dear Parents of Ms. Silver’s Lower Elementary Montessori Class,
Welcome new and returning students to room 116, our very special
Montessori class! I am looking forward
to an inspiring year with your children and have many wonderful lessons to
present. This year will be an adventure
in discovery and learning for all.
Our back to school night is at Faith North Montessori on Monday,
July 30, from 5-6 PM. Your attendance is
requested and appreciated.
Please note: No backpacks
please. We will use a two pocket home
folder, which we will provide for homework and mail back and forth to and from
school. We will need all of our
classroom space and patio for working areas.
Each child will use a canvas, which will be folded when not in use. Please
bring the canvas tote bag to school each day.
Please do not allow toys to come to school. They distract from the learning environment. Kindly do not purchase any school
supplies. I will collect $20 cash from
you on or before Back to School Night.
This money will be used to supply children with all necessary books,
supplies, and materials. In order for
all students to have the same materials in class, they will be personalized by
the children and provided by the teacher.
Please do not allow your children to bring any extra items other than
pencils. We do not use mechanical or
decorated materials. The less
distractions, the more the children are focused and intent on their daily
work. If you would like to send
community materials, the following would be appreciated but are not necessary:
tissues and sanitizer, empty ink cartridges for recycling, and Ticonderoga #2
pencils. Please contact me if you are
able to make materials. We need
refurbishing of many items and lots of new materials need to be made. Thank you for contributing and volunteering!
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to
contact me after 3:20 PM at 602-257-3914 and you will be transferred to our
class. One of our goals is to instill
and inspire your children to have a life long love of learning. We will encourage their independence while
enjoying this stimulating and motivating experience!
Thank you for your continued support of your child and our school. Have a great summer!
Sincerely,
Ms. Silver and Mrs. Ramirez
