Our class has enjoyed learning about the skeletal system and human body during the month of February.  I hope the children shared with you what they learned!  A big thank you to Jake’s mom, Anu, for an amazing presentation on the heart.  The children had a blast checking their pulse, oxygen, and dressing up like a surgeon.  Also, thank you to Greta, Elijah’s mom, for teaching us the components of blood. 

We enjoyed learning about American Presidents.

The children all eagerly participated in our Valentine exchange and celebration!  

This year, our class will be representing the continent of Africa for the multi-cultural festival, so March will be a fun-filled journey to Africa.  We will be using maps, flags, tasting different types of foods, learning about amazing places and taking a look inside life on the other side of the planet.  Again this year, our class will create a video about Africa to be presented at the Multi-Culti Festival in April.  March will also take us “out of this world” as we study our solar system.  

In celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, we invite the children to wear pajamas to school and bring their favorite book on Wednesday, March 4.   We will spend the day reading and make a special snack.  

This week as we celebrate Montessori education week, we are planting seeds to begin our garden indoors.  We are looking forward to transplanting our seeds in our garden in April.  Please sign up on our bulletin board if you would like to donate a bag of soil for our garden.
