Our theme for this month is Creation and the World Around Me. We will be talking about seasons, weather, ecology, recycling, and colors in the world around us which God created in His infinite wisdom with such orderliness and perfection.
This month we will be studying Community Helpers and Transportation! Children enjoy learning about people they see and meet during their daily experiences. As we learn about people who help us stay well (doctors, nurses, dentists, etc.), we will also cover people who keep us safe (policemen, firemen, rescue squads), people who fix things and many other occupations. These occupations and awareness of our com-munity also stimulate activities about transportation. Our classes will be exploring the many modes of traveling: air (planes, rockets, etc.), land (cars, trucks, bicycles, buses, trains, etc.) and water (boats, ships, etc.). Dramatic play will be an important part of our curriculum as we discover the many possibilities in travel around us.
How quickly our school year is going by! Summer is just around the corner! We now begin our new Life Study Unit—Animals! Animals are such a wonder and delight to children. We will try to share as much as time permits; animal homes, food, babies, creation and the order of His perfect design in nature. There will be sharing, sculptures, painting, dramatic play, zoo masks, and more as we share and learn about animals this month.
