ROLL BACK TO EASTER HOLIDAY Dear BusyMINDs Parents,
MARCH EDITION
In this Edition: *Roll back to Easter Holiday *Important dates *Invoices *Founders Discount *Grading system
Over here at Busy Minds, we are slowly rolling back the days to the end of term. Our central theme is still transportation and the children have explored various means of transportation amongst so many other things. There is a lot lined up for this week and the next, so you will be getting quite a bit of information from us in line with our ‘end of term procedures’. For the rest of this week through next week, our older children (El2 and ELe) will be finishing their project work whilst learning presentation strategies, as they get ready to host you, their wonderful parents. Most of the projects are science based so the children will keep learning and working in line with our science, language and Math goals. Our Early Learners 1 children have some artwork, classwork and a collection of songs to sing to you in their classroom and they are getting ready as well. Overleaf is information about our grading system for this term, please review and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
