Summer Fact Practice

Throughout the year there are many activities and jobs that are related to the memorization of math facts. The Montessori curriculum recognizes the need for this skill in larger and more complicated operations. However, the timed aspect of memorization is not addressed during class time. Since the state and national standards for math include a timed test, we have included in the homework for each week. During the summer it is important for the students to stay on top of the facts that they have mastered, as well as work on those they are trying to master. The following site gives parents the opportunity to individualize the practice for the needs of their particular child.

Dear Parents,
Won't be able to make field day, but wished you could?  Make sure you order this years yearbook to see all the highlights your children will be telling you about. Our yearbook captures the fun and excitement that your child has been experiencing all year long. The yearbook staff has been putting a lot of work and a lot of fun into this year's yearbook. So there will be no doubt your son or daughter can't wait to get their hands on it. They'll collect friends' signatures and delight at the pictures. For years to come, the yearbook will be a special souvenir of their activities, classes and friends.

It's also the perfect time for you to choose an ad for them, congratulating them on their efforts for a year well done. I know as the parent of a child at Bruno Montessori, they will be be thrilled to have a space in the book, dedicated just to them.

Please take this time to fill out an order form for the yearbook and/or ads for your child.
At this time estimate the cost of each book to be $45. As parents, we can reduce the cost of each book by purchasing display ads in the yearbook. Please find a flyer in the front office (and soon in your child's folder) that will provide the information on the different options available for placing an ad in the yearbook. You can also access this information on the web at www.jsbrunoyearbook.com
The yearbook staff will be available to take your orders and answer any questions you may have. You can contact me by emailing me at: dana.maxfield@jsbrunoyearbook.com or calling me at 205-422-8549. I look forward to creating memories and working with everyone in making this a great year.


The Joseph S. Bruno Montessori Academy Yearbook is a memory that our children will cherish for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Dana Maxfield
