Happy Spring. Enjoy the time off with your children. When we return there will be many important events and the end of the year will come before we know it. I had the pleasure of previewing the Preschool art show today. It is amazing how much our preschoolers have learned about color, lines and sculpture. I was so impressed. The TK children are reading word families and are quite enthusiastic about learning. Our Primary children had fun searching for eggs and understanding the limits of how many they could find! The Discovery students in 5-6 and 7-8 have done a great job studying for Pentathlon Africa. I know that we have all learned so much from this enrichment curriculum. I also believe it will benefit us in future classes.
Thank you for all you do to support your children and our schools.

This week on TK island we had a fun-filled egg-cellent week! The little fishies learned all about Architects….They even became architects! So, they began to build their dream home on the island. First, they made a blueprint. Then, they drew a model of what their home would look like. Lastly, as a group, they began to build a model of their dream home. Also, this week they had a visit from the Easter Bunny and had an egg hunt! They had a hopping good time!
Primary Charter
Initial Phase would like to wish all our parents and students a safe and enjoyable spring break! See you in two weeks!!
