March in Kanga's Kids

March was the month for birthdays; we had five children turning five and anticipating a birthday treat and milk!

Dr. Seuss also had a birthday this month. We experienced sequence, change and casuality through making green eggs and ham as inspired by the Dr. Seuss book, Green Eggs and Ham. The children were heard exclaiming, "they are turning yellow!" "Now they are green!" Are you wondering what we did with our green eggs and ham? We ate them, of course, well... we tried them at least. Then we created a chart to indicate whether we liked, disliked, or refused to try the green eggs and ham!

On our "wearing o' the green day", we had a great green celebration. The students took turns hunting for green coins around the classroom and then counting our findings! We found the lucky amount, 18! Looking for lucky shamrocks the students gave each other clues and experience identifying position and direction saying, "look up." "Look under." "Find them underneath."

We will end the month of March with a day full of camping experiences. We will be putting up tents, cooking hot dogs and eating s'mores! We plan to tell stories around a "campfire" thus enhancing language and communication by having fun with language and relating to adults and other children.
