Spring is here, and we are ready for sunshine, fresh air, and fun! We were definitely all done with the snow! With warmer weather, our Wolverines have been so excited to get outside again and enjoy the fresh air.

This month we were excited to feature our first Parent Lessons, and they were a huge success! We had a baker, a nutritionist, and a local apiarist (beekeeper) come in to share their skills and knowledge with our students. The kiddos loved learning from members of our community/parents, thank you to our amazing families for helping make these experiences possible!

We have a lot of exciting events coming up to close out the school year!
Mystic Seaport Trip – May 22nd
Family Baseball Event – June 5th
Talent Show – June 9th

The Morning Wolverines have been thrilled to finally get outside again! We’ve also introduced some new games, and it has been wonderful to see the older students helping the younger ones learn how to play by reading directions and teaching them step-by-step. Our morning crafts have also shifted into spring and summer themes. This month we created:  butterflies,  flowers, frogs, and more!

April was all about bugs, dirt, and spring discoveries in WF-PreK! Our class explored why bugs are important, investigated textures and prints, and learned what happens under the dirt.

Students loved singing “Five Little Ducklings” and creating a variety of bug and nature-inspired crafts. Our sensory table turned into a bug habitat where children built homes for insects, and our dramatic play area became a bug lab, complete with lab coats, containers, and sorting activities. It was a fun, hands-on, and wonderfully messy month of learning!

Our Kindergarteners explored nature this month with a special focus on gardening and bugs! Students learned about different insects and their importance, created colorful bug-themed crafts, and enjoyed the warmer weather with nature walks and outdoor scavenger hunts. It was a wonderful month full of hands-on learning, creativity, and outdoor fun! 

Our 1st grade Wolverines spent April exploring spring sports and enjoying time outside! We focused on building sportsmanship and practicing teamwork through fun, active games. Students learned how to play kickball, tried out new tag games, and had a blast playing four corners. It was a great month of movement, fresh air, and learning how to play together!

April showers had 2nd grade wondering why so many earthworms show up on sidewalks, so we decided to study their habitats and learn more about them. We even made delicious “edible” worm mud cups!

We also learned how to tell the difference between a frog and a toad, studied their habitats, and made origami jumping frogs—followed by frog races, of course!

We wrapped up the unit by studying geodes. Students learned how they are formed, where they are found, and even how to crack them open! We also enjoyed painting beautiful 3-D amethyst geode towers on canvas boards.

Our 3rd and 4th grade Wolverines became scientists for the month of April as part of STEM Explorers!

Students explored:
Chemical reactions using common substances
Strawberry DNA extraction
Slime, floam, and Oobleck experiments

They loved taking initiative with measuring ingredients, experimenting with different quantities, and getting messy for the fun of science! Coming in May: We will begin our final enrichment adventure—World Explorers, where we will explore Africa!
