Monty Money Winners of the week!
Monty Moments: Tigers on the move!
Tigers,
This week was a wonderful week for our 4th grade students as they learn more information about moving up to 5th grade. We had the instrumental fitting lead by Mr. Doss and students had the opportunity to try a variety of instruments. Our 4th graders also participated in a zoom call with Ok2Say talking about internet and phone safety.
Something that is very important to all of us at Monteith is the social emotional development of our students. We know that all students grow and learn at a different pace and that its about the progress of a student not a score. We also know that sometimes students need a break or time to process individually. We are working hard to create cozy corners in every room in our building so that students know that is a safe place to go no matter what room they are in. ( pictured Mrs. Bruveris's Cozy Corner)
Please remember Young 5 and Kindergarten registration is OPEN!
If you missed the information night please make sure we have your information and you start the enrollment form. Monteith's Y5/Kindergarten Transition day will be May 2nd 2023.

As you know we have been working hard on our Safe Routes to School Plan. We are excited to share that MSU has some suggested plans based on our student and staff survey results and our walking audit. They would love to have input from parents, students, staff and public safety at a zoom meeting at 4 p.m., Tuesday, January 31.
If you would be willing to participate, please fill out this simple interest form and the link will be sent to you Monday, January 30 for our meeting the next day.
Thank you!

Art News
Students in second grade are studing the country of Australia, the Aboriginal people who live there, the music they make, and the artworks they create based on their culture. Aboriginal people create dot paintings using animals that live in Australia as their inspiration. Students chose an Australian animal and drew the outline of the shape of the animal creating positive and negative space. We then use neutral colors to fill in the positive space inside our animals. Students then chose contrasting colors native to Australian culture and meaning to help their animals stand out from their backgrounds in rows of dots in the negative space around their animals. Which is your favorite Australian animal?
