Spring is in the air!!

Science - This is such a great time for preschool. We can learn and explore so many fun things this month. We will be talking about seeds and plants, the water cycle, recycling, and insects. We will be starting our butterfly unit and our caterpillars will be arriving soon. The kiddos will love to watch the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly!

Reading - We will finish up our last letter in the alphabet and then start a review of all the letters. Next month we will start blending sounds and the children will be able to read some simple words (so exciting to see how much they've learned).

Math - We will review money and time, then go back and review addition and subtraction. These last two months will be focused on reviewing what we have learned this year.

March 2012

This month we will focus on weather, rainbows, butterflies, ladybugs, and St. Patrick’s Day. We will plant some seeds, make several different crafts about rainbows, and get ready for our butterfly unit that we will start after spring break.

Reading
We will focus on sequencing. We will talk about the beginning, middle, and end of a story. Also we will talk about conflict and conflict resolution (what was the problem and how was it solved).

Math
- We will review money and start our time unit.
- We are still practicing counting by 10.

Other
- We will continue to learn to tie shoes.
- Every Friday we will have a science experiment and record our results in our science journals.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
