April 2012 Newsletter

“Spring has sprung” in the classrooms. Because of the seasonal changes, there are many opportunities for learning in science, math, language arts, reading, art and cooking activities.

The earth warms, causing new plant growth to spring forth, giving the season its name. It is exciting to take a nature walk in the fresh air and record the children’s observations. Digging up dirt in the school garden to plant lettuce and flowers is a popular project. The children see seeds sprouting up. They learn about the four components (soil, sun, water, seed) necessary for plant growth.

There could be a robin sighting or maybe a frog croaking. It’s time to shed those warm layers of clothing and enjoy spring.

Playrific wishes you all a Happy Spring!

March 2012 Newsletter

Winter is coming to an end. While it’s still chilly outside, children love to do science experiments with snow and ice. At home or in a warm classroom, they can observe snow or ice cubes melting up in a container. And, to wind up after an active day outdoors, what’s better than enjoying a book while sipping a hot chocolate? March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’ birthday; his classic rhyming books are a fun way to reinforce math concepts, colors, and reading skills.

Spring is around the corner and there’s a lot more to celebrate, from Purim to St. Patrick’s Day. Playrific gathered content for home that reinforces what children may see and do in school. St. Patrick’s Day is the best day to teach the color green to your toddler or preschooler. We have great content in stock for you, whether you’d like to teach the color, the spelling or even how to count the Leprechaun’s gold at the end of the rainbow!

Browse our collections to discover fun and educational clips featuring Dr. Seuss’ books, Purim, St. Patrick’s Day, spring and more!
