Primary News Spring 2022

With the coming of spring, we have been excited to share the signs of seasonal change that we notice! The children are loving the warmer weather and spending time outside, even in the rain! Spring-related topics that we are learning about include eggs, birds, lambs, weather, and growing seeds and plants.

We have been learning about Europe, including focusing on many different countries, such as Ireland, Norway, Russia, France, and Spain. We have been reading stories, learning about the flags, singing songs, and exploring cultural objects from many different places in Europe.
Holidays that we have learned about and celebrated were Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and Passover. We often involve food preparation in our holiday experiences, and the children prepared strawberries and whipped cream in the Oak Room, made fruit kebabs in the Cedar Room, and chopped apples, walnuts, and dates to make charoset for Passover in the Cedar Room. We loved celebrating Earth Day!
Our older friends have started spending time with the Elementary class to help prepare them for their transition next year. It's hard to believe that our school year is almost over!
