Red Robins April News
Look what we learned last month!
In the month of March, excitement was filled in the room full of activities. We started off with Dr. Seuss's Birthday and Crazy Hat/Hair Day. VONS and Carol Cipra read a Dr. Seuss book to the children and provided a special snack (Banana, Juice, and Fruit bar). On St. Patrick's Day, we enjoyed lots of yummy green snacks brought in from many families. Ms. Raquel and Mrs. Bertha and the Red Robins made and set traps (See Photos on website) for an attempt to catch Lucky the Leprechaun. Lucky disappeared, leaving his clothes behind with a special note and a pot of gold. His shoe was missing and Seth found the missing shoe. For art, the children made shamrock wreaths, shamrocks with glitter and some tissue paper. The Red Robins talked about their special pets they have or the pet they wish to have. Some children brought pictures and others drew pictures of their pets. We also went over numbers, practiced writing them, and made number books. We started talking about Multicultural. How we have so many things that are the same and others that are different ways that people dress in other countries. The Red Robins will be learning about Multicultural and learning new things about the different cultures. The children will be able to share music, clothes, toys, and foods from their culture background. We welcomed spring on March 20th. The Month was finished with all the letters of the alphabet. We have been reviewing and learning our numbers.
What we will learn this month…
For the month of April, We will be talking about spring and Life on a Farm. As a class, we will try the chicken dance. The children will create fun and exciting art.
