March

Looking Back…

We have been really enjoying the book report project.  We should be wrapping up shortly.  It has been great to have a different theme every week.  Our most recent themes have been pajamas and noses.  The children had a great time guessing the noses of certain animals and painting with scented paint.  Thank you to all of the parents for letting me know which book your child has chosen ahead of time.  It really helps for planning!

What’s New?

We are saying goodbye to Winter and hello to SPRING!  We have already started planting some vegetable and flower seeds.  They have all sprouted, yay!  We hope to plant them in our school garden at the end of March or beginning of April, depending on the weather.

We will be talking a lot about fruits and vegetables and healthy eating.  Wednesday, March 13th we will have a special “green” day.  Please have your child wear green, and we will enjoy a special healthy green snack.

Our caterpillars will be arriving at the end of March.  It is really neat to see them evolve into butterflies and be released into nature.
