Spring has sprung!!

Spring is officially here, just a month late this year!  We have been doing lots of projects lately to coax the nice weather back to the midwest :)

 

We made bugs to hang above the door out of egg cartons and A LOT of hot glue.  Some bugs are imaginary, some are realistic.  The kids had complete creative control on these little buggers.
 

After our spring concert, we have Exhibit Night.  That is when parents come to our classroom and see all of the things we have been doing lately.  We made self portraits to attach to the chairs to make it look like they are sitting in their desks.  They turned out SOO cute!

 

We made beautiful flower garden pictures for the hallway.  All sizes and shapes of plastic bottles were used like stamps to make the flower shape.  Add a dot of yellow in the middle and some green and you've got a luscious garden!

 


We also make sun catchers to hang in the sunshine!  The students loved stringing the beads on and making their own patterns.  I am excited for them to take the sun catchers home and see how the sun shines through in their houses.

And lastly, an update on our plants/flowers/grass...

 

Of course the flowers are not growing yet, those will probably start sprouting once they get taken home!  As for our grass, some have growth and others do not yet.  Good thing we talked about how some seeds are just duds and don't grow how they are supposed to!  Out of our 9 flower pots, 5 are growing :)
