I cannot believe it is already April. Spring is in full swing around here and the weather is not letting us forget it! March brought wind, rain, cold, a snake!, incredible hail and even a few fantastic sunny days. Ryan Shield’s daddy visited the school to teach us about weather and we are all learning how unpredictable it can be. The teachers have done a fantastic job planning alternate activities just in case they are not able to take their classes outside. I have seen some really fun activities taking place all around. Joni and Carrye’s class put their gold hunting skills to work on St. Patrick’s Day. They ventured out into the TASB building and picnic tables searching for leprechauns and gold nuggets that were hidden throughout the area. The Journey Room teachers are working overtime as they adjust their routine. They have welcomed a new teacher, Kristen Miller and are changing up their daily schedule a bit. The children have been learning new songs and Ms. Gloria is making some really cool “teacher-made” materials for the room. Each classroom is humming with playful sounds and squeals as our teachers lead pajama parties, silly shoe parades, and introduce live hissing cockroaches, a tarantula and, literally, hundreds of lady bugs to the children. We also celebrated the works of everyone’s pal, Dr. Seuss.
We have said “hello” to our newest friend. Atlee’s baby brother, Canon Olofson began on Monday in the Odyssey Room. We welcome Canon and know he’s going to settle in nicely. Atlee is thrilled to have Canon right down the hall. We also have to wish three of our friends a sad farewell on Monday April 6th. Will, Marci and Josh Adkinson are moving and we are going to miss them. Good luck to you all and don’t forget us!
Just a few reminders:

I hope you all are soaking in some sun, enjoying the intermittent beautiful weather and dodging as much hail and damage as you possibly can. Feel free to drop in anytime and join in our springtime activities!
