We will be marching into the month of March with lots of rhyming fun as we celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. We will then blast into outer space as we explore the planets, stars and learn about rockets and astronauts. We will finish up the month by learning about sneaky leprechauns and Easter fun.
We will also be looking forward to spending more time outside as hopefully the weather will be turning more Spring like. Please check your child's cubby and make sure there is a change of clothes as springtime comes so does the rain and mud and the kiddos sometimes find wet/mud spots on the playgrounds.
Also, if your child is potty training they need to have at least two or three changes of clothes in their cubbies. If you are doing any spring cleaning, we can always use pants and underwear if you'd like to donate any.

Please dress your child in green on this day to celebrate the luck of the Irish. Many classrooms will be using their imagination and problem-solving skills to design traps to catch the leprechauns so that they will have to give us their pots of gold.
In the past those sneaky leprechauns have been known to turn the milk green, turn the tables upside down, scatter the toys all over the rooms, dump gold glitter on the floors and even turn the toilet water green. We have never caught any leprechauns, who knows maybe we will get lucky this year.
