Our Community and Food Groups

Dear P3 Families,

The children have settled into the new school year and we hope the parents have as well! We have worked diligently on classroom rules and procedures, and the students are enjoying making friends. We would like to thank you for being extra patient with your teachers during morning drop off. We know the health screening questions may seem redundant, but we appreciate your cooperation in keeping us all healthy!

Everyone is loving our study on Community Helpers. They also love working on fruit and vegetable sorting, and we have started talking about seeds and apples with simple experiments as well. Our new friends have begun learning their letter sounds, and we are so proud of the Kindergarten children for getting in the habit of completing their goals. In addition to all of this hard work, we have also been practicing all of our important safety drills.

Here are some of your children hard at work!
