Dear Parents

March is here and we are looking forward to spring.

For many months we have been talking about the weather, the seasons, day and night as well as the path of the sun as it slowly climbs higher above the horizon.

We have introduced the seven continents to the children and learned a song so the children can remember them easier.

In the second week of March we will start learning about the continent of South America, its countries, flags, animals, plants, oceans and some of the foods that are coming from South America. We will continue this study to the end of the school year.


Many children are now part of our reading program and we would like to thank all parents for taking the time to practice reading with your children, it makes a big difference. Reading is so much more complex than just reading the story itself. Even though the children are reading their book many times over, it really benefits their ability to memorize the spelling of each word, and leads to the ability to read by sight. The English language has many exceptions that can only be mastered by lots of practise and memorization. Reading comprehension is another important factor, that all children will need later on in Elementary school. Feel free to ask your child questions about the stories they are reading.

In Preschool and Kindergarten Children learn how to read and later in life they read to learn more.

We also would like to ask to NOT remove the staples from the readers to copy them as this will destroy our books.

Spring Break is coming up and our school will be closed from March 18th to March 28th 2024.

School will be closed on March 29th 2024 for Good Friday and Easter.

School resumes on Tuesday April 2nd 2024.

Thank you for re-registering your child/children with our school for the coming school year.

Please remember to drop off and pick up your children on time to least disrupt class in session
