Each day in Kindergarten, we discuss the season and the weather. As we have gotten closer and closer to spring, the children were very excited about transitioning into our new season. They are looking forward to warmer weather and more time to play outside. They are really excited that after spring comes summer...and I can't blame them. I love the hot weather and sunny skies myself!
On the first day of spring, March 21, a student said, "Mrs. Tucker, it is the first day of spring, but it feels like winter!" I had to agree. It seems we've had colder weather since spring's arrival, but I assured the children that it is, in fact, Spring and that warmer weather is coming!
So since the temperature is not cooperating, I thought I would help the students find other signs that spring is here by doing a little scavenger hunt!
We headed out around town and looked for several different things that showed us that spring is in full swing and we can expect nice weather to come!
Here are a few of the things we found...
We found a bird nest!
Lots and LOTS of birds!
Buds on a tree!
Green Leaves!
A puddle from all of those springtime showers!
We also found several other things like a garden planted, ants, bees, and even a butterfly. We discussed how all of these things show us that winter is leaving and spring is here and soon we'll see even more of it. It was nice to discuss how the trees and flowers had changed from winter and exciting to see all of the new life blossoming all around us!
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE~!
