Hello my friends!
I hope you enjoyed your time outside yesterday, even if it was a rainy cloud day!
We are going to read a spring book today from one of my favorite authors, Kevin Henkes! This book is called When Spring Comes.
Lots of baby animals are born in the spring. I noticed baby birds and baby kittens in the book. What other animals do you think are born in the spring? What do you know about baby animals? Let's look at these sweet pictures of baby animals born in the spring. Awww....
Can you name them all? How do the animals change as they grow?
Were you a baby? Was your mom a baby? Was Miss Anne a baby? Yes! Everyone was a baby, even if it was a long time ago. Can you remember which babies we have learned about in the Bible? I can remember learning about 3 babies in preschool: baby Moses, Hannah's baby named Samuel, and baby Jesus!
Now it's time for you and your grown up to find a picture of you when you were a baby! I bet you were so cute! What did you look like? How have you changed over time? Spring time is a reminder about how God gives us life and how every living thing grows! Ask your grown up if you can glue your picture into your notebooks, draw yourself and then write or tell about this question: How have you changed?
I can't wait to see some adorable baby pictures of all of you!
I just said above that "every living thing grows!" What is a living thing? What is not living? Look around your house. Can you find something living? What is not living? Now go outside in your yard. What is living? What is not living? Can you find more living things outside or inside?
Try out this game on living and non living things! (Parents, there is some reading involved in part of this game so stick around!)

Your last task today is to go outside and create a picture using nature! Get a bucket or bowl. Fill it with small pieces of nature you find in your yard or at a park. Then find a flat surface and make a picture using the nature you found. Here are two examples!
I also wanted to share this awesome idea! I hope you'll make an Easter egg for your window!
