March Themes: St. Patrick's Day, Spring, and flowers
Spring
The temperature is slowly rising and there are patches of green grass on the playground. Spring is the subject we will explore at school. Throughout the weeks, the children will become more aware of the many changes that take place during this season, as well as common spring activities. They will be exposed to spring holidays such as St. Patrick's Day, and plants, animals, and insects.
Theme Goals
- Spring colors
- Spring weather
- Plants and flowers that grow in spring.
- Spring holidays (St. Pat's)
- Insects seen during spring.
- Nature walks
- Kites

As spring arrives and all the flowers begin to bloom we will begin a unit on flowers. Through this unit the children will learn about the care, uses, and parts of a flowering plant. They will also learn about places where flowers are grown as well as the names of flowers and their containers.
Theme Goals
- Parts of a flower
