Welcome to February 2024 in Project GROW! In February, we are introducing the topic of simple machines and how they work. We will include levers, pulleys, wheels and axles as well as ramps! We will also be talking about shadows, discovering our own shadows near Groundhog Day! We will open the dramatic play area as a Grocery Store and practice our writing skills to write letters and send to our friends for Valentine’s Day. For Valentine’s Day cards and treats (non-edible), please just fill out the ‘From’ part on the valentine, so it is easier to disperse into cubbies and backpacks. This month, we will also begin lessons in art and talking about talented artists from the past who will inspire the children’s creativity through emulating the artist’s style. We will be discovering works of art from Michelangelo Buonaratti, Georges Seurat, Berthe Morisot, Alexander Calder, Jackson Pollack, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Marcel Ducahmp, as well as learning their distinctive styles.
