Back to School

Dear P3 Families,

Welcome back! We hope you all welcomed 2022 with a BANG! May the Year of the Tiger give you lots of health, wealth, and happiness! It is so nice to see the children back fresh from the holiday break, it’s amazing how some of them have grown so much! We felt incredibly spoiled this holiday, so we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our parents for your kindness and generosity!

Before the break, the primary team put together some lesson plans on amazing peace makers in addition to Martin Luther King Jr. For our Peace Studies, we will also be learning about the following peace makers:

Tegla Laroupe: S Kenyan long distance runner who advocates for peace and human rights.

Mother Teresa: Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her services to the poor.

Barak Obama: Awarded the Nobel Peace prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.

Jimmy Carter: Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy, human rights, and promote economic and social development.

The children are getting settled into a routine again, ready to take on the second half of the year. We have begun our studies on the Solar System, Antarctica, Polar Animals, and snow.

We also welcomed Ms. Kristen, our new music teacher! The children loved their lesson on African drums yesterday, learning all about beats and pauses.

This is the time of year where we start making our rounds of phone calls to all our families. It’s an opportunity to touch base about your child’s progress, and a chance to address any questions you may have, as we know it is tough to have conversations during pick up and drop off. If you have not received a call yet, we will be continuing our phone calls throughout this week. Kindergarten parents will receive a zoom link for their meeting. If your child is a kindergarten student and you have not signed up through sign up genius, please let us know and we will re-send the link. Thank you so much for all your support! Communication is key to the success of your children!
