January 3 – 7


Welcome to the first week in 2022!

Casa

Children in casa welcomed the new year by changing the calendar and marking the important dates in January. We brainstormed a winter word wall and talked about where winter animals live. We discussed the migration of Canada Geese and Monarch Butterfly. We talked about Brown Bears and Snakes that hibernate, but that animals like dogs and cats adapt to the cold winter weather. We also tried to find out the difference between rain and snow and put together the water cycle.

Pre-Casa

Children learned different food names with our food posters. We used our five senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste) to explore the inside and outside of different fruits. During outdoor play, we played cars on snow and traced the tire tracks made from them.
