Wauwatosa Montessori School
June 7, 2019
As we head into the final week of the school year, I want to thank everyone for a wonderful year of learning and growth in our building. It takes a village and we appreciate everyone in our Wauwatosa Montessori community for what they do to make it such a strong, positive, vibrant community! I'm already excited for the 2019-2020 school year.
On Thursday, all students attended an assembly with our Reading Specialist, Mrs. Berthold, to learn about the importance of exercising our reading muscles all summer long! Mrs. Berthold used Aaron Rodgers as an example for students and explained to them how he uses his off-season to relax, vacation, and enjoy hobbies, but he also continues to work out, practice his quarterback skills, and work on his football skills. Summer is the off-season for school and we want students to enjoy the outdoors, relax, go on vacations and have fun, but just like Aaron Rodgers, we have to keep exercising our skills, like reading. Mrs. Berthold also discussed with students the importance of setting goals and having a plan for our summer reading. Students will be bringing home a letter in their Friday folders explaining what we talked about, as well as some goals that they've set for summer reading and other ideas for making summer reading fun.
Speaking of reading, Mrs. Archambo, our District Library Media Services Coordinator provided families with summer reading ideas. There are many different ways that your children can keep reading over the long vacation… and even earn some prizes and free books! Click HERE to learn about several different summer reading programs students can participate in, and they are free of charge!
Lastly, please be sure to return your child's Friday Folder and any extra Friday Folders that may have accumulated at home over the course of the school year. We do reuse ones in good condition year to year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Imperiale
Principal
