February Recap:

Our theme for February was Cultural Diversity and Friendship. We started off by celebrating the Japanese holiday, Setsubun. A tradition of saying goodbye to winter and welcoming spring. The children of Pacific Coast Montessori had so much fun making Oni masks and trying out soybean treats! The children enjoyed saying farewell to the season of winter and we greatly welcome the warmer Spring weather!

We celebrated our first one hundredth day of school at Pacific Coast Montessori Academy! It was so fun to see our friends dressed up like they were 100 years old. It was so much fun celebrating being 100 days smarter here at Pacific Coast Montessori! 

For Valentine’s Day our friends decorated cute bags, and brought in sweet Valentines to show their love and friendship to their friends in their classroom. The children were also excited to give, and receive during the special holiday. We had a wonderful turn out and support from our amazing families for our open house. It was wonderful to see how excited the children were to return to school with their families. They really enjoyed showing all their families their classroom and all the work that they have done.

Along with our events we explored the continent of Asia. our children were introduced to the different countries of Asia, like India, Japan and Chila. They were introduced to the country's flag, some customs and popular monuments. The children enjoyed looking at all the ancient history of Asia and looking into some of their famous architecture and art, like the Taj Mahal, the Terra-Cotta Army and the Great Wall of China.

As we look into March, we have it filled with exploration and discovery. We will be looking into the continent of Africa, exploring dinosaurs, celebrating Dr. Seuss and literature, and as we welcome spring, our children will be introduced to the lifecycle of a butterfly . Spring will soon be arriving, and we are so excited to look forward to the changing of seasons. We can’t wait to see what March brings to us.
