Sap is running...

Spring? Winter? March weather sure keeps us on our toes. Thanks for keeping up with your kid's gear.

Did you know that Amber, head librarian from the Guilford Free Library, comes to read to us every Wednesday? The class loves seeing her, and is always excited about the new books she has for us. If you haven't visited the library, you should! Your kids can get a library card, and there's an excellent children's section. Check out their website to find out about story times, and other upcoming community events. 

Creating strong reading habits early on is a crucial part of raising young children. Check out the graphic below from ReadingRockets.org for some good tips about reading with your preschooler. 

Enjoy some pictures from our very full week!

We found pussywillows growing through the snow!

Spring melt on the playground was in full effect on Monday. 

Our art area gets so much use! We love this messy creation zone (and always clean it up at the end of play time).

We've decided to turn our dramatic play area into a forest. These kiddos are helping to create a tree. 

Sap is running, sap is running...

Putting some additional touches on the ice cream truck. 

"Face painting shop is open!"

We've been reading the excellent book "Caps For Sale" and have loved acting it out. If you don't know the story ask your child to tell you about it. 

A wet day, another goop factory.

Nothing like some smoky fire-pancakes. 

And success! So glad that so many of you were able to make it today. Thank you!
