Weekly Theme Update March 15 – 19, 2010
Tabhair póg dom, táim Éireannach!!
(TOO-irr pogue dum, toyme AY-ron-ock)
which means.. Kiss me I’m Irish!
OK so it’s March peoples… this year is flying by! Here @ the Kondo we celebrate a different kind of March Madness… everything turns green from inside out. This week we’ll explore Irish folklore, colors, and foods, mmm. If you would like to bring in an Irish dish or music, get with your teacher. We’ll be taste testing corn beef/cabbage on Friday morning, wish us luck;)
FYI
There will be a St. Patrick’s Day Parade downtown Saturday March 13th @ noon. Starting on Ralph Mcgill @ Peachtree. Hope to see you there.
I wanted to take a minute to share the domains of development when implementing this themed curriculum. We use these when planning activities.
Cognitive, which is thought process, problem solving, decision making.
Social/Emotional is self awareness/autonomy.
Language/Literacy is reading/communication/letter recognition.
Physical, which is using gross motor skills. (sounds funny, i know)
We also encourage independence and self help skills. If you have any questions pertaining to this please see me or Jo.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
