Dear P3 Families,
The children did such an amazing job during their performance! We hope you were able to take lots of pictures! Thank you again for helping them work on their lines, and for showing massive support and encouragement. We are all so proud of our little ones!
We would like to thank P3 mommies, Jin and Alison, for volunteering their time to do crafts and read to the class. As always, the children loved it!
We’ve been very busy learning about reptiles and North America. The students love learning about the animals that live on our continent (especially the skunk), and we are also studying the flora and fauna found in our own Mojave Desert. We will go deeper into our continent study by learning about Native American homes and writing, as well!
The children are diligently working one-on-one with their teachers in language and math. If your child is learning phonetic sounds and you would like to practice with them at home, we ask that you only practice the short sound of the letter instead of the name. If your child is bringing a book home weekly from our Take Home Reading Program, we suggest asking simple questions about the story for comprehension practice i.e. “What were the names of the people in the story?” or “What was your favorite part?” The books brought home have already been read to a teacher in class. Please remember that the main focus of Take Home Reading is to foster the love of reading, and not to struggle with new words.
Here are your children hard at work!
What a typical work cycle looks like in P3:
We love our math and language!
Parent-child Night is on Thursday, November 15 (4:15-5:00 last names A-M, 5:00-5:45 last names N-Z). We highly encourage all families to attend, as it is an excellent opportunity for your child to show you what they are working on in the classroom. It is also a great time to ask questions about the Montessori materials. We hope you can join us!
