August Newsletter

Our theme for this month will be dinosaurs. We will take a trip back in time, through millons of years to the incredible world of the dinosaurs. We will be able to recognize different types of dinosaurs and their characteristics, including size, appearance and eating habits.

At home, ask your child to tell you about what dinosaurs they know. See if they can tell you how big the dinosaurs were in comparison to things we see every day like houses, cars, trees, etc. Enjoy your child!

Plants

Last month we studied plants, fruits and vegetables. So we went outside and replanted some potted plants that were outgrowing their pots. In the process we got a little dirty and learned about roots.
