Hello Spruce Families and happy Spring!

The children have been so very busy both inside the classroom and out, with the combination of the beautiful Spring weather and the opening of the deck! All of the children have had a lesson on the deck space and have been enjoying getting messy outside. On the first day of Spring, the Kinders planned and participated in a scavenger hunt at Battle Point (along with a picnic snack with their daily read aloud) and while most found all of their objectives, they all happily stated that they will challenge themselves more next time! The elders in the classroom had a lesson on the Spring equinox and made books showing the position of the earth as it moves through the seasons. We are also excitedly preparing for our classroom pets to come after spring break – WORMS!

One of my most favorite nights of the entire school year is materials night, when the children get to share what they love about their classroom with their families, and I know they look forward to it just as much as I do! It was so great seeing all of you being led around by your child and sharing their joy with them. Here’s hoping the nicer weather coming up will finally kick all of these colds, etc. to the curb!
