Brown Bears Newsletter: March 2024

Welcome to March Brown Bears! 

The sunshine is lasting longer each day and we’ve been having some warmer weeks. Hopefully the warmth stays consistent, but we all know how unexpected Colorado weather can be.

This month, we’ll be exploring gardens and the plant cycle! We’ll practice #’s20-30 and letters O, P, and Q. 

A GREEN THUMB OR SCIENCE?

Our Brown Bears will be planting things of their own! We ask that each student bring in a small pot to paint and label with their name by March 8th

As the month goes on, they’ll be potting, watering, and checking in on their seeds/plants themselves.  

IMPORTANT DATES

03/04 to  03/08 – Dr. Seuss Spirit Week!! (info attached) 

03/08  Early Closure Pick up before 4pm 

03/08 – Small pot due

TWO FROGS INCOMING!!

Last month we had the Brown Bears vote on what class pet they would like to have in the classroom. The winner of our poll was… the African Dwarf Frog!  

We’re wanting to make sure our frog friends will have a nice home. We’ll have to prep the tank and do some aqua scaping before they can move in.  But this process will tie in well with this month’s theme! We’ll be planting aquatic grass, moss, and other aquatic plants 🙂 This process will take about two weeks, after that we’ll introduce the frogs. We know this addition to the classroom will help encourage curiosity, teach patience/responsibility,  and open many scientific discussions! We are so excited!
