Dear P3 Families,
We are only half way through November and so many exciting things have happened this month! The Primary classes attended an assembly called “Wild About Animals” and had the opportunity to learn about beautiful and exotic creatures such as the kookaburra bird, chinchilla, and various types of desert reptiles. We would also like to thank all of you who attended Parent-Child Night. It was wonderful seeing the excited faces of your children as they were showing you their favorite work. If you were unable to attend, there will be another one scheduled when we return from winter break so please keep an eye out for those dates.
The children have been so enthusiastic learning about different types of reptiles and their characteristics. They have also been quite fascinated learning about the diversity of North America. We have read about the pedal powered taxis of Cuba, the musicians in the streets of Mexico, the street markets of Haiti, the big buildings in New York, and the oil rigs in Texas. Our older children are working hard on their writing, utilizing circle maps and using picture stories to practice forming sentences.
The volunteer sign-up sheet for our field trip to the Nevada State Museum is located outside the classroom door, and there are still a few spots available for those that are willing to help that day. Please note that the bus leaves promptly at 8:30am, so we would like the children to be here no later than 8:15am. Ms. Alisa will be reviewing chaperone procedures prior to departure so it is important that parent volunteers be on time. Lastly, please remember to dress students in their bright orange FMS field trip shirts!
