Marching into March!

It's hard to believe February is over and March is here! Well, there are lots of things to do during this month and lots of exciting things coming up; so bring on March!

We continued a bit more with some ocean themed activities this week. The kids and I did an experiment with water beads! Each child got a chance to spoon in the tiny beads, pour the water, and we all watched them grow through the day, predicting how big they would get! It was so exciting to watch them get bigger and bigger. We let the water beads continue to grow overnight and when we came to school the next day we filled our sensory table with them! We put in some fun sea animals to swim around in the Ocean we created. We put out a new Montessori material this week in which the children have to sort land animals and ocean animals in their proper habitat. We look forward to continuing this theme a bit more next week and to introduce air animals into the mix. This will eventually lead us into our weather theme as we start to talk about winter changing into spring, and learning about rainbows!

Speaking of rainbows, on March 17th and 18th, the 4th through 8th graders at HCA will present our spring musical, The Wizard of Oz! Although it can be tough to sit through a full show, we are excited to have the early childhood students experience this and watch our in-school morning production on Thursday the 16th! This is particularly special for me to share with Nursery 2 since I am the director and choreographer of the show. :-) We will talk a little bit about this story during class and hopefully they can make some connections while watching the play! If you are free please consider coming to this family friendly show and witness the hard work of all the students involved! We will also be creating our own special rainbows to decorate the lobby during the show; so make sure you check those out as well!
