June 2022
Welcome to our June curriculum theme, Plants, Animals and Habitats
The theme for the month of June is Plants, Animals, and Habitats! Little learners are jumping into summer as they discover the outside world and the creatures that live within it! Each week, children will investigate different facets of the outdoors from plants to animals to insects to environments, and comparing these aspects will broaden their perspective on the planet in which they live! Little learners will ask themselves, “What’s the weather like outside, and what kind of clothes should I wear for today?” as well as “What kind of plants and animals live in this kind of environment?” Learning about the outdoors is a critical step in early childhood development as it gives children a chance to explore the world around them!
