WELCOME TO OUR PEACEFUL CLASSROOM

Hello Everyone,

February is off to a great start.  We have started our thematic unit on Africa.  We have talked about different animals that roam around on Africa’s varied landscapes.  We have discussed the Savanna and the Sahara desert .  We have also talked about how many of Africa’s wild animals are becoming endangered species.  February 14th is not only Valentines day but it is Arizona’s birthday.  Our state will be turning 100 years old this year.  The child will be learning fun unique facts about Arizona throughout this month.
