As the weather turned warmer,our class did many activities to turn our thoughts to spring.
We planted lettuce and other types of seeds, and tended them faithfully. We also made birdhouses
and hung them in the courtyard and outside our classroom. This went with our study of habitats and niches in science.
Instruction
Children also did a fabulous job with biomes reports and projects.
Here are the directions I had posted on-line:

March would not have been complete without a leprechaun Fun Friday.
