Dear P3 Families,
Can you believe that September is coming to an end and conferences are right around the corner? Everyone should have received a bright orange packet with your conference information, as well as a Zoom link on your assigned conference day. Doing this via Zoom is very new to all of us, so we thank you for your patience in advance! Please take some time before the conference to review the conference form for any questions you may have. If you did not receive the packet or a link for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. We look forward to speaking with all of you!
We are concluding our studies on community helpers, food groups, safety, and apples. the children enjoyed discussions on different roles our community helpers play in our society, and we have many aspiring police officers in our class! They were also able to study the parts of a real apple during circle time, seeing the core, seeds, flesh, skin, and stem, as well as it’s entire life cycle.
As many of you know, the Montessori Method is not big on paper work and worksheets. Children this age are not always capable of talking to parents about every “job” or “lesson” they learned that day. If they come home with a small booklet that says, “I worked on these sounds today!”, please practice them at home, as it is an important step towards their reading journey! And as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Birthdays are still special despite the changes this year. Although parents will not be able to be on campus, we are more than willing to celebrate your child’s special day in class. You may send individually wrapped store bought snacks for 27 children, and we will sing our special birthday song and send you pictures or a video of the celebration. Just let any of your teachers know and we will mark our calendars!
