Dear P3 Families,
February has been a very busy and fantastic month with a bonus snow day! The children were able to take turns playing outside in the snow as it was coming down pretty steadily, and they had the time of their lives! Definitely an experience they probably won’t get until high school! Thank you Ms. Alisa, our east coast native, for braving the cold weather for our children!
We celebrated Valentine’s Day in our class by doing a gift exchange, and it was a wonderful time! The children truly enjoyed all the stickers, balloons, and pencils. Thank you to our parents for helping sign all those cards, as 31 is not a small number at all!
Parent-Child Night this month was a success. Thanks to all who took time out of their very busy days to visit our classroom to see what your children love to do. We were happy to answer all the questions about the work, and we hope you have a better understanding of the Montessori materials.
We celebrated a few birthdays this month. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our friends, Cammi and Nyah! Thank you for celebrating with us!
We would also like to thank Kaitlyn, Alison, Jin, and Amanda for spending time to volunteer for our class. As you know the children love your stories and all the projects you share!
To supplement our studies on Australia (Oceania), Brigid did a wonderful presentation on her native country of New Zealand. It was interesting to know that birds were the original and only inhabitants of the country! It was also fascinating to learn about the kiwi bird, rugby, and cricket. The children loved taking home their very own New Zealand flag and kiwi fruit. Thank you so much! Your time and effort to share was extremely invaluable!
Spring conferences are coming up, so please mark your calendars for March 21 and 22. Sign up sheets are already outside our door, so please don’t forget to reserve your time and date. On Friday, March 1st, we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss Day! It will be a fun-filled day reading Dr. Seuss books, doing crafts, eating green eggs and ham, and lots lots more! If your child has Dr. Seuss books to share that day, please feel free to bring them in. However, don’t forget to label them with your child’s name. In addition, please inform a P3 teacher if your child cannot have any eggs and/or ham.
