We planted some seeds - the kids got to pick two seeds of their choice (green beans, watermelon, tomatoes, and sunflowers).  They have been watering them every time they come to preschool, and they are now about 6-8 inches tall, some have more than 2 leaves.  This has been exciting for them to witness!

(seedlings popping!)

Spring Break from Mar 15 - 28.  Classes resume on Mar 29.  We will be continuing our studies of life cycles when we return - frogs and butterflies.

We've been learning new springtime songs as well - Valley of Vegetables, How to Skip, I love Bugs! Here are photos from the last two weeks:
