Curriculum has been organized thematically to incorporate outdoor play and many other activities that will help your child to develop fine and gross motor skills. We also work on pre-reading skills and simple math.

Weather
Math - We had some fun with an umbrella. We sang "Rain, Rain go away ..." and counted to find out how many children we could fit under one umbrella. We also added and subtracted children under the umbrella.
Science - We filled a 2 liter plastic bottle half full of water and put a few drops of red food coloring in it. We then taped another 2 liter plastic bottle to it and made a homemade tornado. We also made a cloud by using a crockpot filed with water. As it heated up we saw the condensation on the lid and when we lifted it off the droplets "rained" back into the crockpot. We talked about the water cycle.
Reading - We read a story about Melissa and Mark and about how they were careful to always dress appropriately for the weather. We then played with paper dolls of Melissa and Mark and got to dress them in all kinds of crazy outfits. We also talked about the months of the year and the different types of weather for each month.
Writing - We sounded out the word "spring" and practiced writing it.
