Starlight

Every afternoon is a snow party! The Starlight children continue to enjoy hands-on activities that center on the frosty season of winter. Zooming down the campus hills and romping around snow mountains is, of course, always a favorite! When it’s too cold to venture outside, the girls and boys have enjoyed painting trays of snow, crafting fingerprint winter scenes and decorating snowflakes (please see our display!).

Twilight

Tweet, tweet! Chirp, chirp! Our Twilight students have made numerous observations about the feathered creatures fluttering around campus. This launched a new, mini unit concerning winter birds! Ms. Sue and Ms. Maria escorted the children on an afternoon nature walk, searching for tracks and nests embedded in the forest trees. Later, utilizing various non-fiction selections, our kiddos learned many facts about Cardinals, Blue jays and Chickadees. During a whole-group craft session, the girls and boys created pine cone feeders with soy butter and seeds. Our Twilight friends can often be found observing winter birds as they feast away just outside the classroom window!
