Theme of the Month

This month's theme - Something for all five senses!

March 1 - Peanut Butter Lovers Day - great tasting!

March 2, 1904 - Theodor Seuss Geisel "Dr. Seuss" birthday - author Cat in the Hat (his books are fun for the ears)

March 3, 1847 - Alexander Graham Bell birthday - inventor - telephone (his invention uses our sense of hearing)

March 6, 1475 - Michelangelo Buonarroti birthday - artist (his creations are wonderful visions for our eyes)

March 6, 1912 - Oreo Cookies first went on sale - (tasty treat!)

March 9, 1943 - Bobby Fischer birthday - chess champion (his game is something we can touch)

March 9, 1959 - introduction of the Barbie doll

March 14, 1879 - Einstein birthday - scientist

March 15 - Ides of March (Shakespeare term - middle of March)

March 17 - St. Patrick's Day

March 20 - First Day of Spring (a season of beauty that touches all our senses)

March 21, 1685 -  Johann Sebastian Back birthday - composer (his music is wonderful to listen to)

March 24, 1874 - Harry Houdini birthday - magician (his tricks can trick or sense of sight)

March 30, 1820 - Anna Sewell anniversary - author Black Beauty

March 30, 1853 - Vincent Van Gogh birthday - painter (another great painter's work to see)

March 31, 1878 - Eiffel Tower opening

 

Some ideas to reinforce these special days include the five senses.

Learn how peanut butter is made (learn about other nut butters if there are allergies) and use it in a recipe (recipes reinforce math skills).

Dr. Seuss created many nonsense characters and words - create your own character, name it and draw it, then write a nonsense story/rhyme for it.

Michealangelo made some wonderful statues - use modelling clay and create some sculptures of your own.

Spring is a great time to take a walk and use all your senses - see the flower buds poking up from the ground, smell the blossoms bursting from the trees, feel the grass or splash in the puddles, hear the birds as they start to build their nests and taste the fresh blueberries. Many things can be learned during a nature walk in the spring.
