Tt is for Think Spring

March brings spring!

Today is the first official day of spring--
whether it looks like it or not.
Pick and choose one thing to do each day of "think spring" week
and before you know it, spring will have sprung!

Have a pajama day.
Wear your pajamas all day one day
because we are putting winter to bed!


Do some spring reading . . .


Become a bird lover!
Listen for birds chirping outside . . . create a curly bird
. . . finger paint some birds on a branch . . .
make a nest . . . eat a nest!


Go on a spring scavenger hunt!
Take a nature walk outside and look for signs of spring such as
a blue sky, a fluffy white cloud, some green grass,
a daffodil or crocus or other flower,
a puddle, a worm, baby ducks at a pond,
a tree with buds, a tree with blossoms,
a nest or birds flying in the sky.









Sing a song of spring!
You could sing "The Four Seasons" song or . . .
"I looked out the window and what did I see? . . ."
(make some pink popcorn afterwards)


Easter is just around the corner . . .
Guess how many eggs are in Grandma's basket!
Win a bonus prize and guess what is inside
the eggs inside Grandma's basket .











Fly a kite!

KITE DAYS
by Mark Sawyer

A kite, a sky, and a good firm breeze,
And acres of ground away from trees,
And one hundred yards of clean,
strong string--
O boy, O boy! I call that Spring!

Happy "Think Spring" Week!
Love, Grandma
