Think Spring!


When March rolls around, the calender leads us to believe
 that it is time to THINK SPRING! 
However, here in northern Michigan, 
most of the time we are still covered in snow!

If you still have snow, or even patches of snow, 
you might enjoy spending an afternoon adding some color

When you do have a few warmer days and the snow begins to melt, 
take some time to play in the Spring Mud!

Playing in the mud might remind you that you could really take

When enough snow melts it will be time to mix the dirt/mud for our garden.

Then, you might consider going inside to check on your sprouts...

If you don't have any sprouts to check on, 


Spring is also a great time to hatch chicks!
(You can also raise frogs and as summer approaches butterflies!)

What are you doing this spring?

Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...

Santa's Dead

"LOOK! It's Santa!" I exclaimed in my best impression of elf as I noticed a child putting on a Santa suit. "I'm not SANTA! I'm -------" "Oh, I thought you were Santa." "No, Santa's dead. I guess I have to deliver the presents now" (with a deep sigh) "Santa's dead?? What happened?" "Yeah, Santa's dead. It's a long story" and.. just like that he skipped off to play.  Clearly the story was too long to tell, and he had other things that were more important to do than to share it with me.  Many programs are looking at the calendar and providing materials and lesson plans revolving around spring and Easter.
