What will we be learning about this year?

I noticed that once I could talk to my son about the new things he would be learning in his new class, he became more excited about going. His anxiety level dropped some and he became curious about school again (instead of telling me he was not going because he doesn't know his new teacher).

As a parent, I know you are interested in the things your child will be learning and it will help you at home to reinforce the things we do at school. So, here is a general list of our Units of Study. All of the 3s teachers at St. Matthew's focus on these but the way we teach them may vary.

• All About Me (Feelings, Emotions, 5 Senses)
• Farm (A petting zoo will come to St. Matthew's so the kids can see and touch live farm animals!)
• Fire Safety (Firemen and their firetruck will be visiting St. Matthew's to discuss Fire Safety. The kids will be able to tour the firetruck at this time!)
• Fall Fun (Bats, Spiders, Pumpkins, Apples, Harvest)
• We Are Thankful
• Christmas
• Winter
• Nursery Rhymes & Fairy Tales
• I Love You
• Community Helpers (There is a "Career Day" where the kids get to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up.)
  
• Transportation (The 3s classes have a "Road Rally" where this kids bring their bikes to school and have lots of fun!)
• Animal Homes (The "Reptile Man" will be visiting St. Matthew's and the kids will be able to see live reptiles up close!)
• Circus (Doodlebug, the clown will give a special performance for the 3s classes!)
• Mother’s Are Special (The class will host a special Mother's Day Tea for all you mommies!)
  
• Summer Fun
