Spring hath sprung!

I am encouraging children to bring 'signs of spring' into the classroom. They may bring pictures of themselves playing outside in spring weather, evidence of spring from the outdoors (e.g., a budding branch, a picture of flowers blooming in the garden) and any other information to help us understand the changing of the season. Children my also like to add small, smooth rocks, sliced tree trunks, driftwood, feathers, wild bird nests and egg shells and any other materials that you think would inspire creativity and inquiry. If you have any of these materials and would be willing to donate them to our programme, it would be greatly appreciated!We want to add these signs of spring to our developing Spring centre. Any help or support you can provide is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here is the slowly developing Spring (le printemps) centre. At the moment we have twigs (les brindilles) in bud (les bourgeons), seeds (les graines), pine cones, an ivy plant with exposed roots (les racines) and magnifying glasses so that the children can explore these items in detail.
