Spring Break Addition
From the Principal
Thank you so much to all the families that participated in the PTO Read - A -Thon this month it was a great success and awesome to see all the different books students are reading! If you still have a Reading Log please make sure to turn it in to the office Tomorrow (Thursday) with the donations so we have totals for our last prize going out on Friday to the top readers in each grade.
We also had a wonderful time reading Ralph S. Mouse for our One Book One School and will be having a visit from Lou's Pet shop as a surprise tomorrow! Thank you to Mrs. Wang for working on this each year and making it so much fun for our learning community!
Also please don't forget The Helping Hands Green Team has started Waste-Free Wednesdays during lunch for the rest of the year! We're trying to be as earth-friendly as possible.
Have an amazing Spring Break and enjoy this time with your family!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Keelean

Small Group Math Support
Hello,
My name is Julia Ruggirello and I am the resource room teacher at Monteith and I am looking for your support! My purpose behind this email is to seek volunteers for a new pilot program we are trying at Monteith Elementary. This program would provide an extension to our differentiated small groups that currently take place in the classroom for math interventions. At Monteith, we believe it is critical that at a young age we are giving students opportunities to progress at their own speed with the right supports in place. The program that we are looking to pilot is utilizing parents to offer additional support for math instruction for small groups of learners. The time commitment involved would be on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-11:30. It is not necessary for you to commit to both days. Materials, schedules, and scripted math lessons would be provided making this a seamless opportunity for many parents to be involved. Even if you do not have a child in kindergarten, first, or second grade please feel free to submit the google form if you are interested. If this is something that you would enjoy and be able to commit to, please fill out the google form that would allow you to pick your availability and provide further details. I plan to reach out to parents who are interested and have filled out the survey by the prior to spring break. Thank you for your interest and support!
