The Weekly Word from CDS FP - August 19-23, 2019
Looking Back
Hello First Program Community,
We had a wonderful week at school, our first week back since summer vacation. Teachers are doing a great job at welcoming students into classrooms that foster an environment in which students respect themselves and one another. The seeds of classroom routines and expectations are being planted and will steadily grow throughout Term 1.
We happily welcomed sixteen new students into the FP community. We also have several applicants interested in joining in the near future. Currently we are full in PreKindergarten and have prospective PK students on a waiting list.
On Friday, we had our first ever FP House. This took place in the Dalton Hall. Students separated into their Houses: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. They communicated amongst their groups about how to be safe on the playground and what is important to think about in the cafeteria. Their ideas were shared on the theater screen using mentimeter. After that, they played games in their Upper House (234) and Lower House (PKK1) teams showing off their collaboration skills. Well done at cooperating so well with with another!
Please expect to have a weekly update from FP which includes important dates and information about special events. In addition to that, select homeroom and specialist teachers, will share updates about their specific grade or subject.
Looking ahead, we anticipate seeing you at the Back to School event on Monday afternoon, and anyone interested in being part of the FP PTA can still inform us of their interest to be a member via the link to the form below.
Educationally Yours,
Mr. Hill
Director of First Program
