Spring in the Atelier

 Today we explored spring in the atelier after examining our plants and reading the book "Spring". The children talked with the teacher about how their plants are beginning to grow roots in the bottoms of the cups, so it is time to plant them in the garden box in the outdoor classroom. We read the story "Spring", and talked about all the things that happened in the story. We then did flower and leaf stamping, spring splatter painting, and decorating a spring poster in the atelier.
