March 2016
Spring is on its way!! All of our classes are embracing spring by learning all about plants, life cycles, rebirth, etc. We have many fun projects planned to celebrate spring. If you have any spring flowers that you would like to bring, the students enjoy the art of flower arranging. This adds beauty to our classrooms and is also educational.
