Welcome to March Brown Bears! 

How exciting thar the weather is starting to warm up again and we’ll be moving on to our more outdoorsy and STEM based activities. We’ll be starting our recycling unit for the month of March!

The students will learn about the Three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as well as learn how to dispose of different materials. We’ll be exploring how we can help care for the Earth and the consequences of not doing so. We encourage families to bring in recyclable materials and any books related to the theme for this unit. 

Unit: Recycle 

Math: #’s 40-50, puzzles

Examples: boxes, cans, plastic bottles, newspaper, lids, plastic containers, magazines, cartons, etc.

*** materials will be used by students for projects, do not bring glass. Please rinse any remaining liquid/solids before bringing bottles/containers***

*** Please keep toys at home unless it is a stuffy for nap time

*** if students are dropped off after 8:30AM, please take them to the restroom before drop off

*** If you bring in books, try to keep them related to the unit and any of the key focuses for the month
MOVIE DAY

March 28th, we will be watching The Lorax (PG, 1hr35min). We will split the viewing into two parts, one in the AM after outdoor time and the rest of the film after nap. The Lorax is a story about protecting the environment and what happens when nature is mistreated and not taken care of. This will be a great transition to our gardening unit in April!
