Violets have bloomed all over many backyards and meadows during these sunny spring days. On campus, there are beautiful patches of them everywhere. It made a perfect theme for this week, including sharing a story about violets.

Monday, we visited our farm animals to check upon our new goats. They have settled happily into their new home. While they are still pretty shy and careful around us, they are a little more courageous than the previous week. We will continue to visit them and help them to become more accustomed to us and, in time, we will all be great friends together.

On Wednesday, we had a full class with all our friends after a few days of smaller classes. Everyone was full of joy seeing everyone else in the classroom. We had a lot of fun playing together throughout the day. We channeled this energy into planting the new flowers that were gifted to us. We all worked together to plant the yellow daffodils in full bloom around our playground. Since we are close to the pick-up and drop-off area, we are able to share our flowers with the whole school. We also worked on our new project for the school auction. The children planted wheatgrass into the eggshells. Once the grass sprouts, we will have beautiful little eggshell pots of small spring islands. We are so excited to help support our school through our auction project.

We continue to have new, observing students in anticipation of our coming, new school year. While the current class may not remember their own experience visiting the class for the first time, they are welcoming and friendly to the new faces. These visits are a nice opportunity for new students to learn about us and for us to meet new friends.

Kindly,

Ieva and Brittany
