Welcome to Spring!

What will we be working on this month?

In language and literacy we will be working on rhyming words. Dr. Seuss should prove to be a useful resource! For motor skills, we will primarily be focusing on learning how to better grip and manipulate writing utensils. We will also be experimenting with mixing different types of play dough for use in our classroom. In math, we plan on learning how to better count with the use of units. And in music and movement, we will be expressing ourselves by trying to stick to music holding a steady beat.

Core Themes

Our themes this month will center on famous children’s books’ authors.

Week 1: Don and Audrey Woods
Week 2: Ezra Keats
Week 3: Dr. Seuss
Week 4: Eric Carle

Throughout the month we will be using key developmental indicators to better enhance our kids’ development and growth through activities.

Birthday fun (and other kinds of fun)!

Three of our kids will be celebrating their birthdays this month. Happy birthday!
A – March 4th
F – March 15th
J – March 27th

Remember that we will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th. Don’t forget to put on your best green outfit! On March 23rd, please join us for our center-wide Easter Breakfast (from 6 till 9 a.m.). And don’t forget the center will be closed on Good Friday, March 25th. 

WOW! We can’t believe it’s already March. To celebrate, this month we will be doing a lot of projects related to spring and the outdoors. We will be watching as the weather gets wetter and warmer, and as this opens up a whole new world to all living creatures. Lots of exciting stuff coming up!
 
Our main focuses this month will be Dr. Seuss’s birthday, the weather, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and spring in general. We will also be focusing on the color green and the shape of the triangle.
