Dear P3 Families,

The children have settled into the new school year and we hope the parents have as well! We have worked diligently on classroom rules and procedures, and the students are enjoying making friends. We would like to thank those of you who attended Parent Orientation and we hope we were able to provide   useful tools and information.

Everyone is loving our study on community helpers, and the children find learning about the different types of landforms exciting. They love working on fruit and vegetable sorting, and we have started talking about seeds and apples with simple experiments as well. Our new friends have begun learning their letter sounds, and we are so proud of the Kindergarten children for being so diligent with their goal sheets. In addition to all of this hard work, we have been practicing all of our important safety drills.

Conference sign-up sheets have been set out, so please sign up for a 15 minute time slot if you haven’t done so. Please note that if your Kindergarten child’s home room is in P3 (where they are dropped off in the morning), the conference must be done with his/her P3 teachers as we have their assessments. Signing up in P4 is an option to talk about their afternoon sessions.
