March Newsletter
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Green Days: Students are encouraged to wear green on Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17. We will be using green crayons, markers, play-dough and even having a green snack with green milk. There may be a few gold coins laying around….
Jungle Animal Study
This month we will be studying the jungle! We are really looking forward to this month. We will be learning about a variety of jungle animals and plants, as well as the weather in the jungle.
Our library will be full of jungle life books and we will sing some fun jungle songs.
We are most excited for our free play room to be transformed into a jungle with a jeep, binoculars, plants and of course, animals!
Jungle Animal Report
Each student will choose a jungle animal to study by sharing at least 4 facts with their classmates. We will send home a poster-size paper for your child’s research.
The posters will be shared during the month.
Please be sure they are turned in by Monday, March 16. Please note that this project is optional.
Read Across America
March 2nd is Dr. Suess’ Birthday! On Mon., March 2 and Tues., March 3, we will be celebrating Dr. Suess’. Throughout the month of March, we will be honoring him by reading Dr. Suess books and talking about the love of reading. We
will also be having one of our favorite snacks, “Green Eggs and Ham”.
Volunteer Readers
For “Read Across America” month, we are opening up the LAST 10-15 min. of each day for a parent, grandparent or family friend to come and read a favorite book to the class. There will be a sign-up calendar on the front desk. We are asking for 1 reader/day.
Getting our Garden Ready
Spring is just around the corner! This is the time of year when we begin to prepare our garden beds to get ready for planting. In March, students will be deciding which vegetables they would like to plant this year. We will be mapping out the beds to plant in and how to make the most of our growing space, with student input. We are very excited to begin using our greenhouse as well!
Summer Camp!
We will be sending out summer camp information shortly before spring break. Our summer camps will run 5 individual weeks, M-F, 9:00am-1:00pm and are open to ages 3-6.
