Dear P3 Families,

Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a fantastic New Year celebration. We are kicking off our January studies learning about the Solar System, Antarctica, and introduced Martin Luther King, Jr. Please note for this age group, we primarily focused on his advocacy for fairness, love, and kindness. The children are also learning about the planets, and are extremely fascinated about the animals that live in the world’s coldest regions.

In addition to our Peace Curriculum, we will be introducing the concept of “Mindfulness.” A trainer hosted a workshop on campus during teacher in-service last Monday as an extension of the classes the teachers attended during the 2017 AMS conference. These are additional techniques and strategies that will help students stay focused, concentrate on one task at a time, and simple breathing techniques to calm their busy brains. Please feel free to email or talk to us if you have any questions.

This month we will be having our Kindergarten and First Grade Information/Enrollment Nights. We strongly suggest our Pre-K and Kindergarten parents to attend to learn all about our wonderful Kindergarten and Lower Elementary programs for the 2018-19 school year.
