April at Morgan
Rothschild Academy
We
started April off with a successful trip to the train museum! Our toddlers had quite the long ride to the
facility and were a little washed out, but recovered quickly as the first
activity in the museum was the simulated train to Suzhou! The kids were then able to trail through the
museum, looking at pictures, displays, and diagrams. Hugo noticed the passports,
saying, “I have of this passport!” Myles
and Riku got to simulate tracking rail cars onto a barge and Allegra and Jialin
pretend to buy tickets! After filling
our head with information, we all went outside for a picnic lunch. All the Toddlers enjoyed the trip and have been
talking about it many times at school since.
This
month awarded us the big accomplishment of finishing the alphabet at Morgan
Rothschild! We made it all the way to Z
and will be celebrating with our piñata soon after we return form May
Holiday. We have expanded our knowledge
about volcanoes and did an experiment to show how they erupt! The whole class as been practicing their
summersaults frequently during transition times, which has opened the door to
doing yoga poses, or as Jacob like to refer to them, “Ultraman poses!”
Welcome Umi!
April
was also Umi’s first month with us and I know I can speak for all the Toddlers
when I say we are so Happy that she’s joined us at Morgan Rothschild Academy! Umi has made friends quickly. She especially enjoys Allegra and Lisa’s
company, but she plays with all of her new friends. She also likes our sharing and story telling
groups and playing in the pretend area.
Morgan Rothschild
Academy Annual Spring Concert
The toddlers spent a lot of time this month working
of learning their concert songs! We
danced and sang until our little hearts desire during our music and movement
lessons. Jules and Lisa particularly
liked learning our choreography and took on strong leadership roles. Learning our songs was fun, but making our
costumes was even more so! The class was
able to participate in making their own costumes by painting handprints on
them! Myles, Nanding, and Umi really
liked this art project! On concert day
our Toddlers were a bundle of excitement!
They all looked so cute and performed wonderfully! Great Job, Toddlers and Thank You to all the
parents who helped their toddler learn the songs at home and those who came to
support their child at the MRA Spring Concert!!
May
May
begins with a celebration of our Mothers!
The Toddlers will spend the week before Mother’s Day discussing how our
mothers are special to us and how we appreciate them because they are so
important!
This
month we will work on reviewing the alphabet, and adding vocabulary from A to Z
to match our readings. We will begin
working more with letter sounds and pronunciation at Morgan Rothschild.
With
the weather becoming warmer, we will be spending more time doing projects (art,
science, sports) outside so enjoy the extra space and extra sun to help our
learning grow.
Our
Toddlers are going to work on writing with new materials in the writing center
and expanding our concepts of what writing can be used for.
We
are looking forward to a fun and warm month of May!
