Hello, wonderful preschool families!
Happy February! This month, we will begin exploring outer space! The children are so excited to learn all about the planets, stars, and beyond! This is always one of the favorite units of the year. The children are already singing the planet song in anticipation! We will begin this fun unit of learning with another visit with Jane from Mother’s Nature. The kids had so much fun with her last time, and we cannot wait to see all that she has in store for us on Tuesday!
We are also continuing our study of trees this week, as Tu B’Shvat nears. The children have been hard at work, carefully tracing and pin punching different shapes and sizes of leaves. The concentration and fine motor coordination as the children focus on this precise task is truly beautiful. They are taking such care as they work collaboratively to create something special for our classroom. They’ve also been working to identify the different parts of the tree, comparing types of tree, and learning about all of the many ways trees help us and our Earth! We’ve even been able to observe out our classroom windows how trees provide food and shelter for the local wildlife!
With the warming temperatures, we are hoping to continue to get outdoors more often! Thank you in advance for sending weather appropriate clothing and footwear for your child. After a long, cold January, they are so happy for any time we get to spend outside!
We hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
Morahs Kara, Uma, Kenzie, and Chaya
