Each month we have both Science and Character Trait themes. Our monthly take-home projects, classroom projects and school events are centered around the theme.
February- Science Theme- Diverse Habits
Character Trait- Tolerance/Diversity
This month is centered around the many different cultures and people of the world. Each classroom has chosen a country to study in-depth. They will learn about its habitat, climate, culture, and other facts.
On February 1st we held an Opening Ceremony like in the Olympics. Each classroom participated in a parade of countries carrying the flag and name of the country they represented. We passed the torch from one country to the next and together had a big "torch" lighting ceremony.
