Dear Parents,
Can you believe that it is December already? Thank you all for the
delicious food at our annual family pot luck. We hope that you enjoyed
the performances that the students worked on. This year we were able
to raise enough money with our bake sale to adopt tow families. One
is a family of 4, a mother with three daughters and the other is a senior
couple that has fallen on hard times. We feel so grateful that we are
able to provide a happy holiday season for those that are in need. It is
a wonderful reminder how fortunate our school community is. It is
also a great lesson in giving to those that need it most. Again, THANK
YOU for all of your support.

December Performance
Thursday, December 17th the students will be performing their annual holiday collection
of songs. Please be sure to check for updates as to the time. This year we are excited to
showcase how one of our teachers, Ms. Sigrid, has taken over the music program for the
Spur Cross location. Ms. Sigrid has been involved in music her entire life, she has taken our
students to the next level with their understanding of music and theory.
After the Performance
There will be a hot cocoa and cookie happy half-hour. Students and their parents are invited
to join us for the half hour following the performance for hot cocoa and cookies, as sign-up
sheet will be available in the office. If your child is NOT registered for Thursday’s, you will
need to take them with you after the performance. We will have school on Friday,
December 18th.
Kindergarten Information Night
On Wednesday, December 2nd we will be holding a Kindergarten Information night.
This night will include why staying the 3rd year is important to your child’s Montessori
education, scholarship options and other questions that you may have regarding your child’s
Kindergarten year.
Ms. Pam’s Corner
Thank you so much for your
generous contributions to our
school’s Thanksgiving pot
luck. We really appreciate
how all the families pull
together to provide such a
delicious lunch. What a
wonderful time of year! It
was rewarding to see
everyone come together to
celebrate. The children
worked so hard to get ready
for their performance. I was
very impressed with the play.
I hope you enjoyed it too.

Dear Parents,
November went by quickly and I am amazed at the progress of the children. Each day they settle into a
busy routine and show us how much they have learned. At the end of our morning circle we dismiss each
child by asking what he or she would like to work with. If they don’t know the name of the material they
have chosen one of us will tell them so we can help them learn the correct names such as Practical Life
instead of “I want to work with water”. The children are very proud when they complete a lesson on their
own and are eager to show us!
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not
exist."” – Maria Montessori
I can’t believe December is already here bringing us 2016 right around the
corner. During this month we will learn about Holidays around the world. I
would like to invite any parent that would like to share any special holiday
traditions with the class.
Holiday Performance
Our holiday performance will take place on Thursday
17th December. If your child is not a
Thursday child they are still invited to attend and
Participate in the performance.
