February at Marlowe

This month was filled with holidays! We learned about Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day, and Presidents' Day by reading lots of fun books on the subjects. 

We read some classic fairy tales...

...as well as some fun sequels. 

We celebrated love and friendship by creating many heart-shaped crafts and handing out sweet notes on Valentine's Day. 

Hearts could be found all over our classroom...even in our music!

The children enjoyed daily song and dance inside, outside, and even in the dark!

We had visitors from Brookhaven Children's Dentistry and two Mystery Readers!

The children are at a really fun part of the year where nearly all of our materials are in use. 

We can't wait to brag about your children during our parent-teacher conference later this month!

January at Marlowe

This month, we learned lots about the Arctic, Antarctic, and life in the snow! 

The children made an Arctic scene, complete with an aurora borealis. 

They decorated our classroom with snowflakes made out of paper cutouts and beaded pipe-cleaners 

(not pictured), they made snowflakes out of marshmallows,

...and they made a chilly cardinal from their handprints. 

We try to read a fun mix of both fiction and non-fiction books to the children. 

A few of this past month's favorites include:

As always, we loved Ms. Mary's lesson and our daily song and dance. 

We've loved watching our amaryllis bloom from a bulb. 

We also had great fun working hard in the classroom!
