April Recap
In April, we set up our chick display and our silkworms. The classes learned all about the continent of Australia. The children also learned about planet earth, earth day. We focused on how to support the environment 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 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 a fun fish snack in a stream. 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.
