Hello parents and thank you visiting our blog!
This week’s quote:
“If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying” – Maria Montessori
This week was filled with Bugs, Bugs, and more Bugs. The children are exploring the world of bugs and learning how important they for our earth. They continue to learn the life cycle of specific insects, and even learned that there are over 1 million types of insects in the world! WOW!Some children are enjoying creating circle maps on bugs, while others are using their writing skills to complete a research paper on bugs (reading through different bug books and writing a sentence about what they read).
We continued to practice for our Spring Performance with Ms. Gloria, and are becoming quite the little actors/actresses on stage. Our performance will be held on Wednesday, May 29th @ 9:00am. Hope to see you all there!

On Friday we celebrated Mother’s Day Tea with all our Wonderful P3 Mothers! The children were very excited to share some special songs and books with their mommies, and were especially thrilled to hand them the gifts they had made. A special thank you to Tami Blinn for brining those amazing cookies to share.

Important notice from Ms. Karen:
Dear P3 Families:
We would like to inform you of a change to your child’s classroom effective Monday, May 13th. Ms. Valerie will be substituting for Ms. Maryam during the morning work cycle for the remainder of the school year due to a family medical emergency. Ms. Valerie is known to the children and has previous experience as a primary head and co-teacher. This substitution should cause the least disruption to the classroom and still allow for academic instruction for the remaining 4 weeks. Ms. Michele and Ms. Brianna will continue to facilitate the Kindergarten Program in the afternoon. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support.
Respectfully,
Karen Kolb
