No school – MLK day – Remember there will be no school on Monday, January 18th for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Have your child use the extra time to finish missing work or work on the MobyMax contest.
Apples Needed for Tuesday – for our science activity on Tuesday your student will need 4 different types of apples. For example: Granny smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Honey crisp. If you can’t get those exact kinds it is ok, they just need different kinds for a taste test.

Missing work and report cards– Last night I graded all papers and all scores have been moved to the report card in Parent Connect.

Valentine’s Day letter-
(Celebrating Thursday, February 11)
Hello Families!
We are hoping to make the Valentine’s celebration this year fun! We are asking that each student make valentines for their classmates.
Please have your child make/buy one valentine card/small treat for each child in the classroom. We have 21 students. Please have them just put their name on the From part. The teachers will be putting them in their bags.
Please drop off to Howe Montessori office on Monday, February 1st between 9 am and 5 pm! You will see a tub for each grade level outside the office. Please place your child’s valentines in that box. We would like them early so we have time for them to sit before touching.
They will be available for pick up on Wednesday, February 10th between 9am – 5 pm. They will be in a tub labeled by grade level. Please just take one bag.
