Happy New Year P3 Families!

We hope that everyone had a relaxing and wonderful winter break!  We have been getting back into the swing of things here in P3!  The children are excited to be back in their routine and have been working hard at their new lessons.  We are seeing children finding that sensitive period in math, reading and writing. It is amazing to watch their skills unfold!

We have started this new year with Ms. Kat’s favorite subject…Space!  To begin this unit of study, the children were asked what they thought of when they heard the word “space”…this is what they came up with:

We learned a song to remember all of our planets too… Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, Asteroid Belt (clap clap clap), Jupiter is next, and Saturn with its’ rings, and Uranus and Neptune and Pluto are the rest, around the Sun together. (Repeat)

…That Pluto needs to make up its’ mind 🙂

We have started to break down the planets to study important information about each. For an at-home activity, start ‘quizzing’ your child about some of our planet facts!

The children had the opportunity to watch an exciting assembly about African Safari animals.  They were able to see and even touch the animals…
