In March, our monthly theme was Rainforest and South America. The children also celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by reading his classic books, such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and Fox in Socks. On top of reading these classic books, the children also made several crafts that went along with the books. Ms.Danielle and Ms. Ariana dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 and read to each class; the children were so excited to listen to them read and take photos. We also celebrated St. Patrick's Day and had some sneaky visitors, the leprechaun. They caused mischief in many of our classrooms by knocking over chairs, throwing our Montessori work on the floor, not cleaning after using one of our classroom's restrooms, leaving green footprints in the restroom, and not flushing the green toilet water. The older classrooms had some unique gems like behind in a pot of gold and used them for a fun scavenger hunt in our play yard. 

March's enrichments followed our Rainforest and South America theme and celebrated Dr. Seuss. The children made their Cat in the Hat Hats, Dr. Seuss bookmarkers, and shamrock rock art. In Art, the children were introduced to Dr. Seuss's books and illustrations. In Music, they were introduced to Latin music and the most popular South American instruments and some of their dances, such as the Tango and Samba. During Cooking, the children made some yummy snacks like Dr. Seuss green egg and ham, healthy shamrock shakes, and shamrock pretzels. The children continued working on ABCMOUSE.com in computer class and Spanish; they learned a song called La Rentia and a new game, Tener Board Game, all about emotions.
