Hibernation
How do toddlers learn about hibernation? In their pajamas, of course! Our green room class all attended school in pajamas while learning about hibernation and the animals that sleep away the winter months.
Cuter than Cupid
Valentine’s Day was a smashing success. Newport dedicated an entire week to learning about hearts, love, and expressions of friendship culminating in a party on the actual day! Conversation hearts were used to make patterns, do simple math, and as catapult fodder! Valentines were shared with roses red and violets blue, heart-shaped cookies were frosted and sprinkled, too!
Bright Smiles
Dental Health starts early with education and good habits. Newport learned all about dental hygiene this week and our students got to meet some of the people who help take care of their teeth. Bright Smiles Pediatric Dentistry visited classrooms, demonstrated what the dentist does and discussed the importance of brushing and flossing. The best part was when each child got a turn brushing the monster’s teeth with a monster-sized toothbrush! We are very grateful to Bright Smiles for an engaging visit and a fun learning experience.
