This month we will continue our study of insects. The caterpillars have arrived! Once the chrysalis forms, they will be placed in to the butterfly house. The butterflies will be released in to the garden.
We are off to Australia! If a continent is surrounded by water, is it considered an island? Let’s explore and find out.
Our areas of study this month will be flowers, koalas and rainbows. We will also be learning all about color mixing.
How do you make a secondary color? What is a secondary color?
It is a busy month at Arletta Montessori! This month our areas of study will be seeds, the solar system, and plants. We are traveling from Africa to Asia.
Did you know that Asia is the largest continent on the planet? On our science shelves we will study Asian elephants and pandas.
We have extended our study of the Arctica and the continent of Antarctica. There is so much to learn. Do animals leave tracks behind them? Let’s identify them. We are learning all about what it means to eat healthy foods using My Plate as our guide. At the end of the month a local dentist will visit to help us learn how important healthy food is for our teeth. If a cookie has eggs in it, does that make it healthy?
We would like to wish our friends, families, and community a peaceful holiday season. This month we will learn about Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanza. Our study of the United States begins this month.
