Happy May, P3 Families!
We have been busy bees in P3! The children were able to make their own personal pizza with Chloe’s family! They enjoyed choosing their topping and watching the cheese melt in the oven! This is a great cooking project that children would be able to make at home as well! Thank you Ghaneian Family!
Earth Day was a great time in our class. The children made ‘dirt’ for a special treat! They got to crush, spoon, mix and eat! They put a lot of thought into how to care for our Earth including recycling, conserving water, saving electricity, and not wasting food. Again, something great to discuss at home!
Mother’s Day Tea was a wonderful time! The children were excited all week to share their songs, their gorgeous gifts, and to share a yummy breakfast with their special guests. Thank you to all of our ladies for joining us for this very special day!
This month we have started our studies on insects and arachnids. We have discussed the different parts of an insect and spoke about how insects have 3 body parts, 6 legs, and usually 2 or 4 wings. We have also discussed how spiders are not insects, but arachnids. In comparison, they have 2 body parts and 8 legs! We have taken a look at various types of webs like the orical and funnel.
We have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly, as well. They begin their life as a jewel like egg; then hatch into a larva where as they grow they shed their skin until full growth. When fully grown, they then go into the pupa stage of life before turning into an adult butterfly through metamorphosis.
