We have kicked off March by celebrating and discussing some children’s authors to get us in the mood for National Reading Week. We have learned about Dr. Seuss, Lucille Colandro, Mo Willems, and Anna Dewdney. We were fortunate enough to listen to stories by each of these authors and learn a little bit about each one.

We have kicked off “dinosaur month” by learning about the supercontinent pangea, and then the Triassic period. We learned about the earliest reptiles, pterosaurs, mammals, and how it was so dry and hot! Some of the earliest reptiles looked like the crocodiles that we know today, and some looked really strange with claws on their tails! We have then started delving into the Jurassic period. So far we have learned about how it had lots of vegetation, beetles became present, and there were dinosaurs such as stegosaurus, brachiosaurus, and allosaurus.

We have also learned about amphibians. We learned that they have moist skin, they breathe through their skin (cutaneous breathing), have backbones, and they grow legs as they mature. Some amphibians include frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians.

So many of our friends have been celebrating birthdays lately and we love their enthusiasm for turning 5! When you turn five, you are able to go on the spinner on the playground. This is a huge milestone, and something that our friends look forward to as they watch their older peers enjoy this activity!
