March was a busy but fun month for Stars Montessori Academy.

The theme for March was Rainforest and South America. The students learned that there are several Rainforests worldwide (Africa, South, and Central America, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and Australia.) There are many types of animals, insects, and birds in the Rainforest. The children were excited to learn and explore more about all the animals. The children learned the Rainforest is vitally important because it produces most of the Oxygen we need to breathe and is the home for so many creatures. Instead of a month's book, we had an author for March, Dr. Seuss. We celebrated his birthday on March 2. They learned that Dr. Seuss was an American Author with about 60 rhymical books with simple texts, which are very helpful to learn to read for beginner children. Two of his most famous books are I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! and Green Eggs and Ham.



For art, the children could made all kinds of fun things. One of the favorite ones was the Rainbow rock painting that they could put in their gardens. For Music, they all learned about Antonio Vivaldi and played rhythm sticks. For Cooking, they were able to make green eggs, and ham treats with pretzels, yogurt, and raisins. They dyed the yogurt green with food coloring and put it together. They also made fruit skewers with grapes, strawberries, and blueberries. The kids love fruit! For Spanish, the children learned new sounds in Spanish for the letters K, L, M, N, O and how to pronounce the colors of the rainbow.

April is going to be an exciting month. The theme of April is Our Plant Earth. In Geography, the children learn about Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. The Literature for April is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault. For Enrichment, the children continue learning by focusing on Music, Cooking, art, and Spanish.
