March news


We are approaching spring fast!  I cant believe how quick the winter has past.  With camera troubles behind me I will again be posting at least monthly.

We had fun the month of February learning about keeping our teeth clean.  A special thanks to Caden's Mom for the toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste.  Please remember to pass in the teeth cleaning charts to receive a prize.  Remember it is okay if days are missing,  effort only is needed for the prize.

We also had fun making a post office out of a refrigerator box.  Unfortunately these photo's were lost due to a camera malfunction in Mexico.  We  practiced our addresses and learned how to address an envelope.  We took turns be the post officers and the mail delivery people.  Our youngest friends just wanted to play "big scary monster" in our post office.  We will be turning our box into a doctors office and a vet during this month.

Our Pre-K's and kindergartners have been working hard on their sight words and pre reading skills!  We finished our rhyming unit and they are all sounding out 3 letter words. WE also have had two new friends join us this past month.  Olivia is "our new baby" the children all adore her.  Caleb is our new playmate.  Joe and Cam like to follow him around and Bryn has decided he is her new "boyfriend"  Joe and Cam aren't too happy about this!!lol

On Tuesday we celebrated read across America day in celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday.  We made green eggs and ham for breakfast.  The children whom ate the green eggs all received a prize.  All the children brave enough to try them received a piece of candy.(scrambled eggs with food coloring)  Ms. Melissa painted all the children up like cats and we enjoyed reading DR. Seuss books all week.
 

Our theme for the next 6 weeks will be in the pond.  We will be learning about the animals that live in and around the pond and how things grow and change around the pond from winter to spring.
