Dear parents,
  March according to our school calendar,had more "lamb" than "lion" days which was nice,even if they weren't all that warm!

  We observed weather closely as we considered rain,sun,fog,clouds,snow and we learned the sun is "always up there",no matter what the weather is like.That's hard to believe some times.We also explored some "crazy" weather possibilities,as classes painted with "mud" or discovering "cloudy with a chance of meatballs" and "oobleck".

 Green week celebrated green,of course,with food and discovering that blue and yellow makes green.Green week also coincided with "welcome to spring" as we say goodbye to winter and look for signs of spring during our neighborhood walks and on the bike trail.

  We also are watching the ongoing process of "evaporation" and the continuous circle of the water wheel,plus catching rain water to measure the inches that had rained.

  Traffic congestion on Maywood Road has increased.We think Joytimer's dropoff/pickup would be facilitated if drivers for Joytime would pull up at least to the street light.We can see you and send the children acroos the lawn.Having your child enter your car on the CURB SIDE helps promote safety habits.The other alterative is to pull into the park driveway,get out and walk over to meet your child.Reminder:PLEAS DO NOT BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO JOYTIMES DRIVEWAY!Thanks.
