Welcome back P3 Families!
We hope that everyone had a wonderful Spring break. This week we began our studies of the rain forest. It has been interesting for the children to explore the different animals and the layers of the rain forest they live in. Our friend Bella did a presentation of the animals for our students as well.
We have also started our South America studies. We will begin to look at different places and animals of South America in the upcoming weeks.
Our friends have enjoyed working on creative map works this week.
This month’s Practical Life area has sparked the minds of our students. We have introduced a mopping work (which may come in handy in the future), a work to test gravity, and the children have even made their own quesadillas!
Chloe’s family did a cooking project with our class before break, where the children made yogurt parfaits! Yummy and healthy!
Our friends have completed our Spring planting, hopefully we will soon have a beautiful garden!
Before spring break, Gianna’s mom did a presentation about dinosaurs and our friends did a special dinosaur dig!
We have had many birthday circles the past few weeks. This is a special tradition in a Montessori classroom.
Fun times in P3!
