GEOGRAPHY..Back to discussing all of the continents. We are comparing the climates,the people and the animals in each area of the world. For many of the new students it is and introduction to the world so we are including the land and water forms.
BOTANY..The most basic thing that we have emphasized is the plant life cycle. We are comparing living and non-living things.
ZOOLOGY.. the comparisons of living and non living cross over between the two sciences. Classifying all the different animal kingdoms that have been discussed is interesting for the children too. Ms Sandi has provided living creatures for the children to touch and see to make this area of learning come to life.
LANGUAGE ARTS..We are reviewing the letters and their sounds. The older children are putting the sounds together and reading words and phrases. Ms. Sandi loves good Children's literature,which she shares with the children and adds a hands on experiences to reinforce what they are learning.
MUSIC..rhythm and melody are the foundation of music so we are drumming and singing every day.We dance and move to make sure the music sinks in all the way down to their toes. During our African Unit we were introduced to the Brain dance. We incorporate the moves in a sequence that stregthens connections in our brains.
ART...The lessons that we have had from Ms. Julie in the areas of sculpture,shape and cubism have been interesting for the children. Now we are making gifts and decorating tee shirts with autographed hand prints of the preschool friends.
