NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER



NOTE: Each month, Katie writes a newsletter and makes hard copies available at the sign-in areas at each school. Here's your info and hyperlink round-up from this month's newsletter:

HALLOWEEN PICTURES: The Halloween party was a big success. If you haven't already checked them out, the photo booth pictures are available at http://sunflowermontessori.smugmug.com/ 

PARENTS ASSOCIATION: If you are interested in joining the Sunflower Parent Association and helping to plan future fun events, please contact sunflowerparents@gmail.com.

CONFERENCES / SCHOOL CLOSURE: Parent/Teacher conferences are coming right up.  Our fall conferences will be held on November 15th.  Please sign up for a reserved time at the sign in areas to come and visit kid’s classroom and school.  On conference day, bring your little one with you and they can give you a “tour” of their classroom and school.  SPROUTS, SUNFLOWER AND THE GARDEN (ELEMENTARY) WILL BE CLOSED ON THE 15TH. POLLEN AND SEEDS WILL BE OPEN. 

CURRICULUM NOTES: See the blog post below for information about each teacher’s curriculum for the month of November. 

WINTER WEAR: We go outside every day, and it has started getting cold out.  Outside time is a whole lot more fun if kids have warm winter gear.  Please send your kids to school with snow pants, warm coat, waterproof mittens (better than gloves) and an ear-covering hat.  You can send extras and leave them at school in your child’s bin or on their hook.  Label everything. 

NEW PAPERWORK: The powers-that-be have informed us that we are required to have yet another permission form on file: the “Non-Ingestable Medical Form.” This form covers the use of such over-the-counter things as sunscreen and diaper cream.  You can pick up a hard copy at the school or download one here.

We are also required to gather annually from every family a “Food Income Eligibility Form” (again, available as a hard copy at the school, or download it here).  Please return yours if you have not yet.  In addition we ask that you keep immunization records up to date.  Feel free to have info faxed to 406-830-3029 

T-SHIRTS FOR SALE: We will be again offering the sale of the Sunflower Montessori tee shirts.  Please let the office know if you are interested in purchasing a tee shirt, onesie or sweatshirt.  Onesies are not available in adult sizes.
Onesies: $15
Women's Organic Tee - $25
Men's Organic Tee - $25
Kid's Tee (2T, 3T, 4T, 5T) - $15

THANKSGIVING, COMING UP! Thanksgiving break will be November 27th through 29th.  We have so much to be thankful for – mainly YOU!  Have a great month and enjoy the seasons shifting!

MENUS: The lunch and snack menus are added every month to our google calendar, available by clicking the CALENDAR icon on the right margin of this blog. They're also available as printer-friendly pdf downloads in our FORMS AND PAPERWORK folder (also on the right margin of this blog)
