Wow! Can you believe January is over? We had such a fun month.

The theme of the month was Winter Animals and Hibernation. The children learned about which animals live in the snow and hibernate. They were even able to make snow. The work inside the classrooms was inspired by snow and winter as well. The literature focus of the month was The Mitten by Jan Brett. This book was able to show the children which animals live in the snow, which ones hibernate, why they hibernate, and what they do to keep warm.



Enrichment was full of fun activities. In Cooking, the children had a blast making a bear in a cave, including Graham crackers, sun butter, and Teddy Grahams. In Spanish, the children learned different words for the different types of weather as well as counting. In Music, the children went back in time and learned about Beethoven. They were able to use rhythm sticks to create one of his songs.

February is going to be a fun-filled month. Our theme for February is Cultural Awareness and Friendship. Our literature focus for February is Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni. The children will discuss what they think friendship means to them. It’s going to be an exciting month.
