We have had a great time exploring pumpkins and the history of Halloween this week.  The children estimated the number of seeds in our pumpkin, graphed what type of face to carve, and made Venn diagrams about historical Halloween compared to modern day Halloween.  

Ellis Families, 
The Charles Ellis Montessori Academy PTA is thrilled to announce we will be sponsoring our 10th Annual Read-A-Thon for our students. All proceeds from the Read-A-Thon will support our school. This year, we will be raising funds to purchase updated Montessori Materials that will be circulated through the media center for classroom use. Not only will the funds benefit our school, but students will also enjoy time reading (and it is something that can be done as a family). We hope the time your family spends participating in this Read-A-Thon will encourage a love of reading and time spent together supporting a good cause. What Minutes Count? • Reading before and after school counts • Reading before the official beginning of the Read-A-Thon does not count • Reading during class does not count • Being read to by other people counts • Reading aloud to a pet counts • Reading aloud to other people counts. (If you happen to read to someone who is also participating in the Read-A-Thon, it counts for both of you!) • Homework reading counts • Reading under the bed covers, with a flashlight, late at night counts (but only if it is okay with your parents)! Prizes! • Any student, who raises $100 or more, will receive a $10.00 gift certificate to the Scholastic Book Fair in the media center, which will take place December 6-10, 2021. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ms. Lisa (lisa.odonnell@sccpss.com). Thank you so much!
Your children brought their Read A Thon forms home in their folders today.
