Good Afternoon!
**Just a reminder that we have a short week as we are closed Friday in observation of Good Friday. Thank you!
In large group, we started to tackle the FAB for the week which focuses on animals and plants. We read an informational book pertaining to the rain forest. Throughout the story, we learned about many different animals that live in the rain forest.
We also learned that if the rain forest were to dry up or disappear, so would the animals. A few fun facts we learned:
1. An anaconda is longer than a school bus!
2. A sloth sleeps up in a tree for 15 hours a day.
3. The rhinoceros beetle is named after the rhinoceros because they have similar heads.
Science K.4.1: Give examples of plants and animals.
Miss Melinda gathered a group at the art table this morning as they re-potted plants from our environment. She also showed them a plant that she brought from home. She informed them that the plant grows towards the sun!
Science K.4.1: Give examples of plants and animals.
We sang a song to learn the parts of the flower, specifically roots, stem, leaves, and flower! Friends learned what each part does within the flower.
After we learned about plants, we got our hands dirty! Children used potting soil in new flower pots as we transferred a few plants into their new homes.
The art easel was open this morning as friends drifted in and out of the space.
We searched for various living things outside including rollie pollies! Friends grabbed up the bug containers and explored the outside space.
