happy February!
This month in our class we will learn all about the panda bear! We will talk about their diet, the parts of their body, their life cycle, and their habitat. Along with our study of their habitat, we will learn about Asia as we get ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
We will also make our own valentines, learn about sink versus float, and refine our palettes with the tasting bottles (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter).
It should be a fun month full of love and kindness! I look forward to sharing it with you all!

Ways to bring our curriculum to your home this month...
• Create a “kindness tree” in your home: Write kind and helpful deeds family members do for each other on small pieces of paper and attach to the tree with pipe cleaners to celebrate their kindness!
• Experiment with sink and float: Using the bathtub, sink, or a bucket fill part way with water and see what you can find to test- talk about your predictions and then test them out to see if it sinks or floats.
• Practice silence: Tell your child you’re going to play a game called silence. Sit with a timer set for 1 minute and just listen. When the timer is up, talk about all the sounds you heard and how nice it was to get so still and quiet.
• Do a taste-test: Make a plate of little bites of food to try together. Talk about the flavors you taste and if they are sweet, salty, sour, or bitter. You can also discuss where the food comes from (an animal, a plant, etc).

other stuff...
• Please be mindful of the accessories your child brings to school…things like big bracelets, lots of hair clips, etc. can often be distracting in the classroom and often go missing. Sometimes these items are best saved for special weekend days.
• Please feel free to bring in any special books or resources you may have at home relating to our monthly curriculum! We would love it!
• Our bunnies LOVE veggie and fruit scraps. If you have any carrot ends, lettuce scraps, apple peels, etc. feel free to bring them in for the bunnies. The children adore feeding them throughout the day.
