What is your Rainbow?

Share Your Rainbow is a book inspired by children displaying rainbows on their windows to show their love and support for healthcare workers and frontline workers during the pandemic.  These rainbows represent caring for one another and our hopes for the future.  With the virus restrictions and the hope to stay safe and well, it means we can’t gather with our friends and family, celebrate milestones like we used to or travel.  With hopes in our hearts, we built our rainbow with loose parts.  In our collection of rainbows, you’ll see friends playing in each other’s homes, going on a vacation with family, going on an Easter egg hunt, petting dogs and sharing ice cream with friends.  What is your rainbow?

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms are such a welcome sign of Spring. We are so fortunte to have beautiful white and pink cherry blossoms outside our school!  Last week, we went outside and studied these trees.

We decided to paint some cherry trees. First, we painted a dark blackground. We used black and white with shades of gray. Next, we painted the wider tree trunks with thin tree branches. Finally, we used cotton swabs to create different colored cherry blossoms.

Easter Fun

 

Division 10 had a busy day decorating eggs with natural materials and gems and making mandalas with Spring flowers and leaves! We also had an Easter Egg Hunt organized by the PAC.  It was definitely a fun filled day! Hope everyone had a great Easter long weekend!
