Monthly Update

March 2023:

Our themes for March are “Changes in the Weather” and “Transportation”. The children will learn about the changes that happen as we anticipate spring 🌷🌞 and also explore the many ways we get around in our world. 🚗✈️🚂 Our Bible story for this month is the Easter story. ✝️ In honor of Dr. Seuss, we will read several of the author’s delightful and wacky children’s books. 📚🤪 His creative use of rhyming words with zany, made-up characters make reading fun!
Special Events: Rockwood Nature Center will visit and present Scaly Reptiles. The children will learn about some of the reptiles that live in our area, and they will be able to pet a snake 🐍 and turtle 🐢 (if they want to!). Also, we’re thrilled to be bringing back Dad’s Night! Our theme is My Dad, My Hero 🦸‍♂️: the children will share important one-on-one time together with their fathers or close family friends while enjoying crafts and games.
