Where was all our snow this weekend?? I hope everyone enjoyed the windy weather and did something fun instead of building snowmen! We have a week packed with fun things to do before spring break. We are painting rainbows for St. Patrick's Day and they are turning out really cute. We have a few centers based on our pet theme this month that the kids are really enjoying. We are also having free play with pattern blocks during centers to go along with geometry.
