Beat the Heat

As we know, the sun can be quite brutal between 10am-4pm. It's important to take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our children. If the temperature outside is 90 degrees or above, please avoid spending time outdoors. This can help prevent heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses. Instead, find outdoor activities to keep children entertained and cool

Nutrition Ideas

"April Showers" Snacks: USDA recommends making "clouds" with popcorn and turning sunflower seeds into rain drops, paired with veggie "flowers".
Plant a Spring Garden: Start a small herb or veggie garden to teach children where food comes from.

Music & Movement

"Flower Power" Dance Party (60s/70s music): Encourage children to do a dance-off, where one child does a move, and others pass it on.

Seed Growth Movement: Divide children into "seeds" and "farmers." The seeds start curled up, slowly growing, while the farmers "plant" and "tend" to them to music.

Educational Ideas

Planting Activities: Start a small indoor/outdoor garden, grow grass or lettuce, and study plant lifecycles.
Nature Study: Take a nature walk, create a nature journal, or do bark/leaf rubbings.
