Upstairs Neighborhood

Greetings to all Neighborhood Families! We are so glad to have welcomed your kids back from Spring Break. They were full of stories to tell and full of sunshine-fueled energy, too! Seems like spring weather is here to stay.

We are so pleased to “get back to normal” in terms of being outdoors all day. Our routine has gone back to how it was during the fall months, and we meet outdoors in the Robins’ and Kittens’ lean-tos for Morning Meeting and Morning Work. They hang their backpacks on the hooks, come to read the message and get straight to work on their math and writing challenges. 

All around us the children are finding signs of spring. They’ve spotted the first robin on the back field and we fervently hope the robin pair that built a nest in the Robins’ lean-to last year will come back and raise another batch of baby robins! Daffodils are blooming, insects are awakening, and bird song communication has begun.

New nature number cards were built to add to the nature alphabet hanging in the Robin’s nest.

Meetings, writing, math work, phonics, creating-it is all happening outdoors again!
