Dear P3 Families,
Thank you so much for attending conferences! It was great to touch base with everyone regarding the progress of your children, and we look forward to working together to ensure everyone has a successful year. For those that were unable to attend and have not yet scheduled a day to meet, please contact us as soon as possible.
The children have had so much fun learning about community helpers and food groups. Our Kindergarten students even had the opportunity to go to the fire station. We would like to thank our parent volunteers for your time and help to make the trip a success!
We would like to give a special shout out to Justin Isom, a P3 parent in the US armed forces. Thank you so much for reading and talking to the children about your job as a United States soldier! It tied in perfectly with our unit of study, and the children were fascinated! And of course, we thank you for your service!
Another massive thanks to Kaitlyn Tinsley who made tacos with the children and shared a very cute book called “Dragons Love Tacos.” We know your time is valuable and setting a few hours aside to be involved with the children is greatly appreciated!
Jin Kim also did a fun craft which students truly enjoyed. You have no idea how excited the children get when they know a parent is coming to volunteer! Again, thank you for all you do.
For our school wide staff meeting this month, the teachers had an opportunity to watch “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” a documentary about Fred Rogers. If you love documentaries, we highly recommend this to be on your watch list (99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes!). We had no idea how much thought went into each episode. The shows first aired in the 1960s, and he was a master and pioneer of addressing real life issues that adults tend to shield from their children. He helped children understand war, segregation, death, divorce, and even went back on the air after the 9/11 attach. He made it a point to listen and embrace questions, speak the truth, and ensure it is our jobs as adults to keep them safe. He is truly an inspiration, and we learned so much on how to improve communication with our children.
Your children are hard at work! Please continue to look out for future blogs, as your child may be featured!
