What's Going On In Pre-K 3B

March 2023
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. As we’re patiently waiting for the arrival of spring, we’ll continue discussing seasonal changes. We’ll talk about clouds, wind, weather changes and we’ll discover what objects can fly. Once spring has sprung, we have fun songs and activities planned to awake our hibernating friends from their winter slumber. The children will begin learning about opposites and we’ll review examples daily with song and dance.
We’ll learn about St. Patrick and why the shamrock was so important to him. We’ll paint shamrocks with our fingers and hands and get creative with a few more fun crafts for St. Patrick's Day. We’ll listen and dance to Irish music and hear a few stories too.
Our class will be listening for the birds who’ll be returning from winter migration. We’ll focus on three special types of birds, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Robins. The children will get to see real birds’ nests, and they’ll learn what unique items are used to make them.
