March at Marlowe

Whoville's favorite author had a birthday this month, and we celebrated by creating our own versions of The Cat in the Hat.

Dr. Seuss's birthday wasn't the only event we celebrated. 

We also enjoyed learning the color order of the rainbow in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Our official unit this month was Fairy Tales from Around the World. We learned lots of geography, read dozens of international classics, and Ms. Mary brought wind instruments from all over the globe.

I can't believe we have just two months of school left!! The children have learned so much this year, and I enjoyed bragging on them during their Parent-Teacher conferences.

Enjoy your Spring Break, and I look forward to seeing you all in a week!

February at Marlowe

This month, we learned all about the founders of our country (in preparation for President's Day), and we celebrated both the Chinese New Year and Valentines Day!

A mommy came in and helped us make a special heart-shaped treat.

We were also visited by a local dentist and learned how to care for our teeth.

We took advantage of the nice weather and spent extra some time outside.

We also had fun working with all of the materials inside the classroom!

You can see how years of working with our puzzle maps help the children learn geography effortlessly. This young five-year-old labeled all of the states out of geographical context (without the use of the control map). 

Research shows that children learn best when having fun. I have definitely found this to be true. :)

We can't wait to brag about your children during conferences this month. Don't forget to sign up!
