Dear P3 Families,
Before anything else we would like to thank you for an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so grateful and extremely appreciative of your genourosity and kindness! Spending time with your children is truly a blessing, and we are truly thankful for your support.
March has been an exciting month in the classroom learning about Asia and dinosaurs. They especially loved learning about Pandas and Komodo Dragons, and loved hearing about Ms. Jo’s childhood in the Philippines playing in the monsoon flood! We have also learned about several types of dinosaurs, grouping them by their diet (carnivores, herbivores, omnivores).
Chopsticks have also been incorporated into our Practical Life Area. Not only did the children learn how to use chopsticks, but the also had extra practice strengthening their pincer grip for writing!
Lots of events are coming up during these next 2 months, and we are so excited because we are finally going to see our parents on campus! Parent-Child Night for P3 will be on 4/26 and 4/27. Parents will have the opportunity to see our classroom, and the children will be able to show you what they are working on! Flyers with details and a sign up sheet will follow shortly.
Primary is also doing a food drive for our service project from April 4th to 8th. Details will be sent home by the end of the week. We are also excited to announce that Fun Friday will resume on April 1st! Parents and children will be able to hang out in the courtyard for about an hour with games and treats provided by the PTO. Please note that each child must be accompanied by a parent to participate.
Here are more pictures of your children hard at work!
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our friend Katherine for sharing pictures and telling is all about her trip to Venice! She showed her special mask to all her friends. If you ever travel and come home with souveniers or photos, please feel free to talk to one of the teachers if you would like your child to share them!
