Fox and Bear Community

We are thrilled to be back in the building!  The children have had a great couple of days to become acclimated to the environment and we are looking forward to a successful year. The teachers in the fox/bear community will all be working with all children.  However, you will have a specific teacher that will be your point of contact to simplify communication.  We will be contacting you next week via email to let you know your assigned teacher.  If you need to reach any of us in the meantime our email addresses are:

Jessica.fry@sccpss.com

Suzanne.karpf@sccpss.com

Kirsten.leske@sccpss.com

Fox and Bear Wish List

Amazon Wish List

The classroom is fully stocked with general school supplies thanks to your donations and support.  Several parents have asked if there is anything else that we need.  The Amazon wish list above has some items that we would like to acquire for the classroom.  

Montessori Birthdays

Walk Around the Sun

We celebrate birthdays in a special way at Charles Ellis.  The children participate in a "Walk Around the Sun".  For each year that the child has experienced, they will circle around the sun and tell the class a memory or show a picture of themselves at that age.  Please send in a picture for each year of your child's life.  These photos can be assembled into a timeline if you'd like.  When this is done they can simply add a photo each year to participate the following year.  

A snack can also be sent in to help us celebrate.  Please create a healthy, low sugar snack.  Some examples could be: popcorn, yogurt sundaes with fruit, fruit kabobs, mini-muffins, fruit salad etc. Please do not send cupcakes or cookies. We will be having our birthday celebrations at 10:30 or 1:30 on the school day closest to your child's birthday.
