Spring is here!

Since last week marked the first official day of spring, we wanted to do something to celebrate. The class started to talk about all of the things change outside during the season of spring. We talked about how the snow melts and the warmer temperatures make the grass begin to grow. We also talked about how all of the birds that flew south for the winter start to come back to enjoy the nice weather in Canada. Some of the students knew that in spring time the caterpillars hide in their cocoons and when they are ready they break out of the cocoon and become butterflies. The class brainstormed lots of different ideas about what they see outside in springtime, and in order to visualize our conversation we decided to paint a spring scene!
