January 2021

Dear P3 Parents,

We would like to thank you all for your patience and hard work with your children during our 2 weeks of distance learning. Zoom classes are not ideal, especially with this age group and the concrete approach of the Montessori method. However, your children did beautifully! We are truly amazed by how much they have learned this month about the solar system and Antarctica! The Kindergarten afternoon sessions were so successful that we often ran out of time due to all the questions and information they all wanted to share!

As we say goodbye to January themes, we are on to studying the ocean this month. We have started our ocean mural, and the children are so excited as they all take part in creating this classroom project. Valentine’s day is also around the corner. Although we are not able to celebrate with handing out Valentines this year, they will be spending the day working on special projects and activities to celebrate this special holiday. You also should have received a link to purchase Val-O-Grams online. Please let us know if you did not receive it.
