April Preschool News

  
         It was nice to meet with all of you at conferences. The growth of the children, emotionally and cognitively, has been so fun to see!

   April Learning Theme
     The Environment
        In honor of Earth Day, we will be learning about where we live and how to care for planet Earth. We now know that it is the third planet from the sun. We will be                discussing conservation, recycling, composting, trash, oceans, rainforests, weather, and the physical characteristics of our wonderful state of Minnesota.
       We will learn how we affect our environment in both positive and negative ways. This unit will extend through the month of May.

         If your child is undecided about what to teach this month, the environment would be a great topic.
      Trash Heap
         To help the children understand the concept of how much trash we generate we are going to begin a trash heap in the classroom. Please send in dry, clean trash to               add to our heap. At the end of the unit we will break the trash down and recycle what we can. If we receive enough trash, the heap will begin to be a
         problem, and the children will see the effects the trash we generate has.
