Hello, and Happy March! As we begin this season of Lent, we are talking about the ways that our children are unique children of God. We have asked all of our students the ways in which they feel special. Our discussions include not material possessions, but what is in our hearts, where God can see. We will send home a short questionnaire (1 question, I promise!) about what makes your child unique. Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's birthday, so we will create Seuss-inspired crafts and make Seuss-themed snacks! We will also take the time to read some of his beloved, quirky stories that never fail to make us smile! We are also learning about sea creatures and fish this month. We've added the category of fish to our animal classification work, and the Niagara Aquarium is coming to visit our school on March 6th. Our nutrition unit will be introduced this month, in which the children learn about the MyPlate configuration of food groups. We will have food tasting from every food group. Some of our students who buy lunch will recognize the MyPlate design, as we use those plates from the cafeteria! Of course, March is the month of spring and St. Patrick's Day, so we will learn about these days as they happen.
Next month, our focus will turn to how we can keep our living Earth healthy.
