 Signs
of Spring! Spring is here and it's
almost
time for the end of the school year! You're getting ready to go
into 1st grade. Imagine that you are recognized for being good
all year long. You get to go into the pre-kindergarten classroom
and help the teacher teach the children a lesson! The pre-k kids
have just started learning about Spring. All of a sudden, one of
the pre-kindergarten children asks you to explain how they will know
when Spring has arrived. Using the link that explained how our five
senses help us figure out when Spring is here, draw some pictures
explaining how we know that Spring has arrived!
