For our nature study this morning we read one of our favorite books, practiced the letter S, and had a number lesson with our spring count and clip cards. We also learned about seeds and completed a life cycle worksheet, practiced linework, and did a flower puzzle. It’s such a chilly, windy day but studying all things spring is surely putting a smile on my face.⠀⠀⠀

Just a few fun things to wrap up our spring study. We read a beautiful book on flowers and learned about sunflowers, made a seed mosaic, practiced shapes with a sticker activity, and completed a color by number rainbow. We certainly love spring over here.⠀

For more spring fun we read Beginning to Learn About Spring by Richard L. Allington, PhD and Kathleen Krull, practiced some seasonal words and matching, and completed a worksheet on the soil layers (@brighterdaypress). We also made a crafty spring sign with paper, popsicle sticks, and cotton balls.

It may not be sunny and warm but this week we are celebrating and learning all about spring! We read about the weather of the season and how people celebrate the spring equinox, practiced the letter S, used count & clip cards for our number lesson and did some line tracing, and studied soil layers. Then we got crafty with flower lacing cards I made and a tape activity. I also read a cute story while Elliot made Pac-Man from scrap paper. We love spring!
