January 2022 Recap:
January was an exhilarating and cold month. The holidays came and went, and now we are enjoying the new year and all it has to offer. The theme of the month was Winter Animals and Hibernation. The classes discussed what animals live in the cold and hibernate during the winter. The children had plenty of opportunities also to discuss the cold climate and learn all about snow and ice. They even got to create their snow!
Our classes also talked about Martin Luther King Jr. and the meaning of diversity. The children all discussed how people might look different on the outside; we are all the same inside. The month’s book was The Mitten, and the children learned all about the meaning of scarcity and what happens when there is not enough of something.
The children learned about Beethoven and how he shaped classical music for their music enrichment class. For Art, the children learned about Vincent Nan Gogh, his art style, and his lifestyle. The children created lots of fun fullied activities in cooking class; they used their fine motor skills by measuring out and mixing everything. The children reviewed their letters from “A-E” for Spanish style and sang songs about the cold weather. Lastly, the children continued their self-pace tracking through language, math, and reading in computer class.
