April Recap and May News
April Recap
April was a great month here at Stars Montessori Academy. We learned all about Our Plant Earth; we focused on the Earth's water (oceans) and Earth's land (continents), layers of Earth such as crust, continental crust, mantel, outer core, and inner core. The children reinforced their learning by making notebooks and coloring the different Land and water areas. Book for April was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault, a lively alphabet rhyme in which all the letters of the alphabet race each other up to the coconut tree. Is there enough room for all the alphabet on a tree? Oh, no-Chicka Chika Boom! Boom!
All our classroom created their own Easter bags for our Easter Egg Hunt. The kids were excited, running around and finding all the hidden eggs. Thank you to all our families who donated eggs to make this possible. Also, thank you to everyone who supported our Scholastic bookfair. We sold over our goal amount! We also started the life cycle of the chicken. Our eggs have arrived and are developing in our incubator. We are hoping that all 12 chicks will hatch in about 20 days. The kids are so excited to watch the development of the chicks.
