Since our return from vacation we have been learning about the five senses.  This week we read a book called What Does Peace Feel Like? by V. Radunsky and children from around the world, which portrays what peace looks like, smells like, sounds like, feels like, and tastes like to children from all over the world.  After we read the book we created our own versions about spring.  Some of our thoughts were "Spring feels like soft feathers," "Spring looks like a mother crow feeding her babies," and "Spring sounds like birds chirping in the trees."

With the arrival of spring the temperatures have been pretty variable and  our playground is at times quite wet and muddy.  Please continue to send snow-pants, boots, hats, and mittens until the snow is gone.  Extra dry clothes are also very helpful!

Weather permitting, we will return to the Wu Forest for ECO on Wednesday, April 8th, and subsequent Wednesdays until June 3rd.  I will send an email with further details closer to the date.

This coming Wednesday, April 1, we will be traveling to the Flynn Theater in Burlington to see Harold and the Purple Crayon.  We will leave around 8:15 and plan to be back in time for lunch.  If you haven't already sent in $3.00 for the show, please do as soon as possible.

We are also collecting shoe boxes (or similar sized) for a project to accompany nature name reports.  I have 13 so far.  If you happen to have one to donate we need 5 more!

We had a great time on Wednesday morning with Angie and Mary Colleen talking about spring and making sugar on snow.  I'm sure you heard a bit about it!  We have also had a fantastic time this week learning circus skills.  We are looking forward to the show tomorrow evening at 6:00.
