Dear Parents,
The past two weeks have been WILD at Little Dreamers! Last week, we learned ALL about Africa! The habitats that exist there and the colorful and strange animals that roam throughout it! We focused on the patterns that we can find there like a zebra's stripes or a leopards spots! We talked about what 'Endangered Animals are' and how we can help them even from far far away! We looked at a map and discovered just where Africa was and talked about how long it would take us to get there if we took an airplane!! We also studied friendship and Martin Luther King Day. We talked about how important MLK was to us and how he helped to make sure that all of us could be friends and play together. Our class discussed the differences that exist in the people we see around us and how even though we may look different, we're really all the same!
This week we're heading to the Land Down Under! Australia!! We'll learn about Aborigines (native Australians) and their cave drawings, we'll learn how they hunt with Boomerangs and make and decorate our own, we'll learn what 'Marsupials' are and talk about why they're different than any other animal in the world and why they ONLY live Down Under! We're going to make Kangaroo Pouches, Koala masks and even look at real pictures that Miss Jessica has from her trip to Australia! On Friday, we're going to celebrate and make a special Australian Dessert called Fairy Bread!! Yum!!
Stay warm out there!
Miss Jessica
