E-Learning

Good morning Willow Families,

We will be having an e-learning day today! I have made a google folder for us to locate all the zoom meetings and the works for today. I am also adding in a link to an online Montessori math link if you and your child want to explore that!

We will have a whole class meeting at 9:00. We will take turns talking about what we did over break, if your child would like to share! In addition to looking at the agenda for today as a whole. If there is time, I will read a book 🙂

3rd years will meet at 10:00 for the Grammar Editing Lesson. 2nd years will meet at 10:30 for the Conjunction Review Lesson. 1st years will meet at 11:00 for the Adjective Review Lesson.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else from me! I will try my best to respond quickly today.

Friday Updates and Conference Signup

Happy Friday!
We hope everyone had a wonderful week! Next Thursday (10/10), the Willow class will be going to the IL State Water Survey. This event will be held in collaboration with the East Central Illinois Master Naturalists. We will explore the creek and get in the water. Students need to wear shoes they can get wet and a change of clothes for when they get back. We will also have access to nets, trays, buckets, tweezers, and magnifying glasses while exploring. If you would like to join us, please let me know!
Monday, October 14th is our Parent Teacher Conference day. Students will not be in attendance during this day. Attached is the link to sign up for a time. All conferences will be in person and held at the Lower Elementary building (the Studio). If this day does not work for you please reach out to me.
