Dear P3 Families,

First and foremost, we would like to thank you for you generous donations for our service project for the Lullaby Connection. Ms. Melissa, our grade level head, had to make two trips to deliver the goods as we were overwhelmed by the amount of diapers, wipes, and baby clothes! Thank you so much! Please check your emails for photos of your donations being delivered to those in need.

Can you believe we have less than a month of school left! We have had a wonderful month learning about Birds and South America! We had an in-depth study on bird eggs, and were pretty amazed on how much there was to your everyday egg! Have you even heard of the chalazae (ka-lay-zuh)? That’s the white string that holds the yolk in place in the center to keep it from bumping into the shell! We learn something new everyday!

The children also loved learning all about the animals of the Amazon Rainforest, and we even had fun activities on the 4 different layers and the living things found in each one. We have also been working a lot on continent puzzle maps. It is such a fun way to learn about the different countries!

Our kindergarten students have been focusing a lot on place value to prepare them for first grade, and many have started 4-digit operations using the golden bead material and the stamp game. All students have been working hard on their sounds and reading as well!
