Fox and Bear Community

It was a pleasure seeing so many of you at the Fall Festival and Family Partnership meeting last weekend! We have also enjoyed meeting with everyone for our conferences over the last few weeks to discuss your students. To our new families - please be on the lookout for a sign-up schedule to come in for a classroom observation. Observations are very valuable to understanding your student's experience in the lower elementary classroom. 

Students will begin working on opinion writing this week. Other happenings this week: we plan to have a picnic lunch in the front garden on Friday, 10/24. Please do not send food that needs to be microwaved in home lunches that day. We will also be doing Montessori's Third Great Lesson, The Story of Humans, which explores the emergence of humans and the unique gifts that make us special.

Thank you to everyone for returning them so promptly.  The dates are listed below. Parents are welcome to attend, but you will need to provide your own transportation and admission cost.
