Teacher Beth Canarie gives some ideas of outdoor spring activities

Hello, what better way to celebrate spring than to take a walk in your yard or a park, practicing social distancing.

Begin by noticing the changes in the color of the grass.
Notice the beautiful buds appearing on the trees.  Some are white, pink, green and yellow.
Notice the bulbs sprouting in the gardens.
What flowers do you see?
Notice the curly worms are starting to show themselves.
Smell the fresh air.
What colors do you see in the sky?
If there is a puddle of water like in my backyard – go jump in it!
The birds are singing their joy. What birds do you see?
Grey and brown squirrels are everywhere climbing trees.

After your spring walk, when you are inside, write or draw what you observed.  Maybe this could be the start of a gardening journal!  We could share these journals with one another.
