Fruit juice is what we like,
we drink it up in one gulp!

The first days of spring is a perfect time to learn about how a seed turns into a plant or a flower, and set up a small garden inside that doesn’t need soil 😀.
That’s right, we start growing sprouts!

Sprouts are the richest source of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The most popular and easiest seeds to sprout are alfalfa and reddish.
You may grow them in a sprouting dish or just in a jar. Just remember to rinse them every day.

Needless to say, children are much more likely to eat these “baby plants” if they have helped them grow.

“Once upon a time”- these are the magic words that open the door to every child’s world of imagination.
Stories help children to develop social skills, empathy, provide a natural exposure to language, rhythm and intonation.
We read them every day and we love every bit of our reading time!

We enjoyed the theater performance very much! Here are some of the moments we’d like to share with you.

The short hand points the hours.

The long hand points the minute.

Now we know each hour

has sixty minutes in it!

Look at our beautiful clocks we’ve made! We use them every day to learn to tell time.

The concept of time is very vague and hard for little children to understand.

We started with the seasons.
After reading the book “Skip through the seasons” by Stella Blackstone, a great interactive seek and find book, we discussed the seasonal changes in nature, what kind of clothes we wear, and activities we get involved into.
We sorted the pictures according to the seasons and made a “seasonal wheel” followed by each child’s presentation.

This is our second “wild animals” workshop. This time we’ve learned about reptiles!

Alligators, lizards,
Tortoises, and snakes!
Their skin is dry and covered with scales.
Some say that dinosaurs
Were reptiles long ago.
Why did they disappear? No one seems to know!

We’re learning opposites today.
Black and white, night and day,
Young and old, big and small,
By the end of the week we’ll know them all!

Music is a universal language! It is a way of communicating and expressing our feeling and emotions. Today Mrs. Lidia Bajkowska, the author of numerous bestsellers, opened the door for us to the world of music.

We’ve learned about music tempo and different sounds, how to express different moods and play in different rhythms.

We growled like bears, buzzed like bees and tweeted like birds.
Did you know that you can learn the fundamentals of music through drama? Now we know how to name musical notes thanks to Mrs. Lidia Bajkowska’s fairy tale and even find them on the keyboard.

Thank you, Mrs. Lidia! Will you come and visit us again?

What’s the world’s favorite flavor? That’s right, chocolate!

Chocolate bars. Chocolate pudding. Chocolate ice cream. Chocolate milk.

The list of delicious treats made from chocolate is nearly limitless.

Today we had a trip to the local manufacturer of chocolate where we made our own bars of chocolate with some of our favorite add-ins like strawberries, raspberries, apples,  pineapples and even gummy bears.
We decorated chocolate bars with nuts and even bread sticks .
We also learned where chocolate comes from and had a cup of rich, hot chocolate.
