In April, the theme was Our Planet Earth and Oceania. The children explored the importance of taking good care of our planet, how many layers the Earth has, and completed Earth masterpieces in Art. The students went on an in-classroom adventure as they explored Australia and learned about all the exciting animals there. Our literature focus for the month was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. Many of the children enjoyed this book for the rhyming sentences and shouting out the first letter of their names. We had many fun projects related to the book, such as Art, Cooking Enrichments, and sing-a-longs.

This past month also brought many enjoyable weeks, starting with Spring Break, then the Week of The Young Child, which we celebrated with a Spirit Week, and had our Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you for all your support!

In May, our theme of the month is Dinosaurs, and the students will be studying the continent of Africa. Dinosaurs are an exciting topic, and the children are happy to see them included in their Montessori lessons, puzzles, and books. Our literary focus will be The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, a classic book that I am sure you all remember.

We are looking forward to having all the Mothers joining us for the Tea Party celebration this month.
