Spring Art
We are ready to get these halls covered with some cheery art! This morning we spent time talking about the life cycle of seeds & how they grow info beautiful trees & flowers. Afterwards we made our own versions of the most perfect flower. We are so excited to display these for all of our parents to see!
Thankful for Sunshine
Spring has arrived! We are incredibly thankful for this warm air & bright sunshine today! All classes have taken full advantage of this weather & have had a ton of fun being together! We look forward to many more days like this ahead.

VOLCANOES!
A volcano is a land-form (usually a mountain) where molten rock erupts through the surface of the planet.
How are volcanoes formed?
Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger.
Why do volcanoes erupt?
The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. The friction causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. The theory that explains this process is called plate tectonics.

Our friends had loads of fun exploring volcanoes during Pre-Scholar Enrichment class offered exclusively at our schools.

Could Spring be Approaching???
Our littles were finally able to enjoy the sunshine today! We are on the brink of Daylight Savings and warmer weather. One day soon we'll reap the benefits of both!
Two of the top benefits of outdoor play include sunshine and exercise. Our bodies need sun. We need sun exposure to make vitamin D, a vitamin that plays a crucial role in many body processes, from bone development to our immune system. Sun exposure also plays a role our immune system in other ways, as well as in healthy sleep — and in our mood. Our bodies work best when they get some sunshine every day. Additionally, children should be active for an hour every day, and getting outside to play is one way to be sure that happens. They can certainly exercise indoors, but sending them outdoors — especially with something like a ball or a bike — encourages active play, which is really the best exercise for children.
