How do The Nature Preschool students discover spring? Here’s what we were up to this week, the first official week of spring:
- We visited the stream and sloshed our way through the mud – even getting stuck in all this melting snow
- We made nests in the meadow to mimic what many animals are starting to do
- We soaked up sunshine in the meadow while lying on blankets
- We journaled in the meadow taking inspiration from the bird song, fresh sprouts and buds
- We painted paper eggs that “hatch” to reveal an animal
- With enough winter snow to close school on Monday, we made a snowfriend onTuesday and Wednesday and enjoyed beautiful windy spring days Thursday and Friday!
- We used pipettes with colored water on raindrops and on snow outside
- Families shared spring traditions with the Tulip Poplar class – the Irish soda bread was delicious!
- We created windy weather paintings by blowing through straws
- We danced like the wind with scarves
- We began a spring scavenger hunt – we hope to check off all the spring signs in the coming weeks!
