This past month flew by, in part because we missed so many days of school. The. Children came back refreshed and ready to work.
This past month the children explored the Antarctic regions of the South Pole. We found that there are at least 17 different kinds of penguins. I think their favorite name is the macaroni penguin. They also focused on the book called The Mitten, by Jan Brett. The children retold the story many times using a CETA strategy we learned at the Kennedy Center. We have also been memorizing The Mitten Song poem. The children have been designing their own mittens finishing them off with stitching around the edges to add a little texture.
