A Message from Ms. Peterson
Hello MCP3 Families,
This week our scholars finish their first learning unit, All About Me, with a focus on curiosity. A huge shout out to our MCP3 staff for nurturing the curiosity of our scholars each week through asking open ended questions, giving scholars choice during centers, and by engaging scholars in various experiments!
We enjoyed our first MCP3 Assembly and had Fun Friday in the Rauh Room! Be sure to check out some of the pictures below. Scholars did an incredible job meeting assembly expectations and really represented their college homerooms with pride! Be sure to check out all of the scholars' below who have had 100% attendance so far this year. Started in October, we will celebrate scholars with 100% attendance each month ~ starting next month, 100% attendance will include being on time!
Progress Reports will be sent home today in your scholar's folder. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's progress and transition into MCP3, contact your child's teacher.

Safety Commitment- Big Voice
Scholars continue to learn and practice different safety commitments in order to help keep the classroom safe. This week, scholars are learning about Big Voice. Using a "big voice" means that we use our words to tell people when they are doing something we don't like. For example, if someone snatches a toy from us we say: I don't like it when you snatch. Please ask me for the toy. Using our "big voice" helps us to problem solve safely without hitting or snatching the toy back.
🤓What are the Scholars Learning?📚
Theme 1: Awesome Me
Week 4: Curious Me
We are born curious and it is this curiosity that drives our search for knowledge throughout our life. Children are especially curious as they begin their search for knowledge at a high speed in the early years. This week children will learn to value their curiosity. They will learn that it is their sense of wonder that stimulates their thinking.
