Spring Time!

We have still been doing crafts and books just haven't posted... we just finished Olympics and Spring part I. 

Spring II is most based on flowers and weather. We are also starting an early reader series (testing the waters), sampling some read aloud books and others on our giant list for March-April library trips. Here is the list thus far: (if they have a JE... by it that means I've searched for it at our library if not our library does not have it but hopefully yours does!)
