4 year old classes

 
We are celebrating spring in our classrooms.  Our 4 years olds will be learning about life cycles.  They will soon plant bean seeds and learn the parts of a plant and what is needed to make plants grow.  They will take  their plants home to put in their gardens. Hopefully they will have delicious green beans to taste! 

The children will also learn about the life cycle of the butterfly. They will be observing tiny caterpillars that will grow each day in their containers as they eat up their food. Once they form a chrysalis, we will move them to their butterfly habitat and watch their magical process.  After our butterflies hatch the children will step outside to let them go free. They will also be creating the process through a multi day art project to bring home.

We are winding up our alphabet adventure having spent one week on each letter all year long. The children have been introduced to the sound, how to form the letter and words and pictures that begin with that sound. It is always fun practice to look for letters in the environment, identify objects around them and talk about what letter it begins with and the sound that the letter makes. 

The children are very excited about Mother’s Day!  They are learning songs and making surprises.  We are talking about Mary the mother of Jesus and learning the Hail Mary prayer.

 We wish all of our Mommies a very Happy Mother’s Day!
