Welcome Spring!!! 

Spring was our theme for the week. We welcomed this beautiful season of re-birth and renewal with many fun spring time activities! Our spring reading list included How Do You Know It's Spring? (Allan Fowler), The Happy Day (Ruth Krauss), The Wind Blew (Pat Hutchins), and It's Spring (Samantha Berger & Pamela Chanko). We sure enjoy reading books more and more every day!!!

We diligently worked on our spring art projects. We sponge painted with purple and white for our April door decoration, made V is for Violet Vase pictures, continued painting tree branches and gluing pom-poms on them as well as created spring flower pictures.

Circle time was spent reviewing the calendar and weather, counting our friends, discussing the new spring season, explaining what happens in the spring for our weekly language experience chart, and conducting a windy experiment. Using a small fan, we predicted which items would or wouldn't “blow in the wind.”
