April Recap and May News

Aprip Recap:


In April, the classes learned all about the continent of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. The children also learned about the environment and how to take better care of it. We focused on supporting our planet by planting, caring for animals, recycling, and learning ways to keep our environment clean. Week of the Young Child was so much fun! Each day the children had a particular activity to celebrate. On Monday was Sports Day, and the kids wore their favorite team or sportswear. Tuesday, the children wore wacky hats or had crazy hair. On Wednesday, our picnic turned out great. On Thursday, the children showed off their superhero and princess outfits. On Friday, it was pajama day, and the children arrived at school with their favorite comfy pajamas.


The children all looked forward to and enjoyed our annual egg hunt festivity. In cooking enrichment classes, the children made treats like rainbow fruit skewers, a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom-inspired tree snack, creamsicle bites, and fish in a stream snack. In Music, the children learned about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who started playing music at four years old and wrote his first symphony in 1764 – he was only eight years old. In art, they learned about Australian Aboriginal art; they made a rainbow rock painting and built a bug craft, rain stick, and earth template.


May News:


In May, our theme is Whales and Migration. In Geography, the children will be learning about South America. The literature book for May is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We will also explore the parts and lifecycle of the butterfly.
