The Forest comes to us

Dear Families,
As we are moving into a new month with the anticipation of Spring, we are grateful for the outdoors, and being able to capture with our senses the new growth. This is a time to get the children excited to see birds and other little creatures come to life!
These next 2 weeks we will introduce the forest and all the wonders we can find in nature. Isn't exciting also to see the new growth and development in your own children?

Here is a Peek of the Week:
Monday- We will venture outdoors to take a Nature Walk and discover what Mother Earth has to offer.
