Dear P3 Families,
Fall festivities have definitely happened! Our Fall Festival was a BLAST! We would like to give a great big THANK YOU to our PTO and everyone else in our FMS community that made that event such a success. The children had a wonderful time getting their faces painted, and enjoyed watching professional circus acts as well. The raffle and silent auction spread was so exciting, and a big congrats to our Ms. Alisa for winning the hair dryer set! Some P3 families won some goodies too, but luck was not on Ms. Joanne’s side..maybe next year!
Birthdays were also celebrated during the last half of the month. Happy birthday, Tristan and Zoey! Thank you for celebrating with us!
We would also like to thank P3 moms (Jennifer and Naysha) for volunteering their time to do special projects with the children. You have no idea how much excitement is added to our children’s’ day when they know a parent is coming to share something special with them!
Celebrate America Day was perhaps one of the biggest events of the year. So much hard work and preparation was put into making sure the children had an amazing experience “travelling” around the United States. Thank you so much to our room moms, Alison and Jen, for organizing such a great team of parents! Whether it’s cutting things at home, preparing food, ordering supplies online, building props, or staying late the night before to transform our classroom into the Southeast, we are so grateful for the amount of time and hard work you all put in. Our classroom was incredible!
The children had a wonderful morning panning for gold in Alaska, surfing and making leis in Hawaii, sampling cheese and milking cows in Wisconsin, line dancing in the West, and making Mardi Gras masks and riding on a space shuttle in their very own Southeast.
Our busy month ended with a special assembly for the Primary Classes called “Project Wild”, an organization that works on wild life conservation. We learned so much about different animals! How do you tell the difference between legless lizards and snakes? Lizards have ears and eyelids, while snakes do not! Chinchillas also defend themselves by blasting a predator with a ball of fur. And while we grow one hair per follicle, they grow 50, hence their very soft fur.
Our Mother Goose Character Camp Performance is fast approaching on November 8 at 9am in the multi-purpose room. Please have your child come that day wearing their teal FMS shirts and dark, solid colored pants. If lines were sent home, please continue to practice with them! We are so excited to put on this show for you, and the children are having the greatest time singing and acting! We definitely have some Hollywood stars in the making!
Here are your children at work learning about the 7 continents and mammals, in addition to working hard in language and math!
