Happy Friday Everyone,
The Garden has been a busy place this week. We have all enjoyed the warmer weather and everyone is spending a lot of time outside. The Tiger Lily class visited the Bosque on Wednesday, and the Wildflower Room went today. It was spectacular! The children climbed trees, explored the environment, and were introduced to the flora and fauna of our bosque’s ecosystem. We are thrilled to give them this opportunity.
The Pre-K kiddos aren’t the only ones who are interested in animals and their habitats. The toddlers in the Buttercup Room have a habitat table enhanced with handmade trees, caves, lakes, and mountains where the children play with their wild animals and learn about their homes. The Tulip class is learning about the ocean and has made an underwater ocean habitat in their dramatic play area. They have a submarine, a rowboat, multiple fish, and seaweed everywhere! It is awesome! Please look on our Facebook page to see some of their creations.
In March we will honor our long-time tradition of hosting Grand Friend’s Days. Normally, this is when grand parents and/or extended family members get to come to school and see how their grand children or special friends spend their days in the Garden. This year, we are inviting them into the rooms virtually. Your child’s teachers will be reaching out to you for your child’s grandparents or other special family member’s addresses so that they can “join the classroom” for part of the day. Some classes will do a live zoom session and others will send a video link for the grand friends to watch on their own time. Whatever it is that your child’s classroom does, I can guarantee that it will be wonderful. We hope your special friends and family will be able to join us for this event. Please let them know to expect a special invitation in the mail soon.
