We have very few school days in the month of March but we are packing them full of fun activities.

On March 3 and 4, we will be setting up a “bear cave” for the children to sit in and read bear-themed books by flashlight. We will be having teddy bears in the block area, bear sorting at the science center, bears and “caves” in the sand table, (hopefully) snow and polar bears in the water table, and we will be finger painting chocolate pudding on bear shapes at the art table. In addition, we will be having tap shoes and rain sticks at the music and movement center.

During the week of March 10-14, we will be putting the wooden dollhouse with dolls and dollhouse furniture in the block area; putting fountains and tornado tubes in the discovery area; using some new grabbers in the sand table; and experimenting with corn starch and water in the water table. We will also be setting up a shoe store in the dramatic play area and putting out drums and tambourines in the music and movement center. At the art center, we will be cooking pizza muffins, gluing buttons on felt pocket shapes, and dyeing various items. In addition, the afternoon class will be using atomic painters and painting with biocolor on aluminum foil.

During the week of March 17-21, we will put magnets in the science center, put plastic waffle cones and shovels in the sand table, place Easter grass and plastic eggs to match in the water table, and put drums and tambourines in the music and movement center. We will be printing with green peppers, finger painting, collaging with the items that we dyed, and cutting and gluing paper strips at the art table.
