March 2012 Newsletter

February Reflection













What a fun month of love and connection!  We also had a lot of interest in time and clocks.  Our singer/song writer Peace Maker focus has brought many fun dance and singing sessions during circle time.  And children's interest in the garden has been exciting to support and be a part of.

March Themes/Topics

  • Butterfly Life Cycle: (egg, larva, chrysalis, adult butterfly), what butterflies eat and how we can help them.  Our classes will have a butterfly kit where they will witness the actual life cycle stages for 10 larva.
  • Monarch Butterfly Migration to Mexico
  • North, Central and South America introduction as well as the introduction to globes and maps
  • Plants we see in March  
  • Directions: North, South, East, West as well as Right and Left
  • Continue our Peace Makers....weaving in some important Central and South American Peace Makers (again offering age appropriate introduction) and focusing on singers/songwriters, artists, botanists, geologists, zoologists and storytellers.
