Spring is in the Air!

The snow is melting and the sun was shining all day which means spring may finally be on its way. The children were also catching "spring fever" as they practiced some spring cleaning of their own in the Walnut Room. At the sensory tables, children have soapy water and a drying rack available to help them wash a few dishes if the urge strikes them! Osato and Julian had a fun time exploring the sponges and soap dispensers as they washed their dishes!

In the Maple Room this afternoon, Mr. Jonaitis challenged the children to build their own Lego car and see how well it held up after being pushed over ramps they made from clip boards. The children got very creative with their structures and persistently recreated them if they happened to break apart on impact.

Children and staff ventured outside today! Although there was not enough snow for sledding down the playground hills, the shovels were still available for children to dig and haul what is left of the snow and ice. Looking forward to warmer weather!
