Ocean's Theme

We dove right into ocean's theme and have been learning so much about sea creatures, taste testing salt water and fresh water, using seashells to create sand, and discovering which objects sink or float.  Be sure to take a look at the ocean artwork our children have been creating. 

 Shaking seashells in water to simulate how crashing waves create sand.
Discovery Center: Will these objects sink or float?
 Of course there are many places to go fishing around the school!



 Creating fish books in the writing center.

Ready for the beach!




 School is a place to get messy!

Valentine's Day Party

Valentine's Day was full of love and harmony!  Each child invited a special guest to join them at the party to enjoy snacks, games, and crafts.  Thanks to all the parents who brought a snack to share and also help us with crafts and clean up.



We painted hearts to find a written secret message.








We got our hearts pumping in our bodies by dancing and playing a heart hopping game.

The Zoo Visits Harmony

On Friday, February 8th,  Denver Zoo volunteers visited Harmony and brought some animal friends found in the rainforest.  Children had the opportunity to feel a green leaf snake, a box turtle, and baby American alligator!  Ask your child which one they liked the best and why.

Rainforest Theme

We started studying the rainforest this week and are having a blast learning about the layers of the rainforest, investigating rainforest insects, tasting foods from the rainforest, and so much more! 
 The cupcakes created their own rainforest complete with animals.  Check it out in the circle room.
 The shooting stars worked together to put this rainforest puzzle together.
 The frogs investigated insects with magnifying glasses. 

Fun in the dramatic play room.





Mrs. Melissa's husband entertained and informed us with his didgeridoo on Tuesday. 
It was awesome!  Thanks so much!
