The students participated in some fun "spring flower"-themed motor activities today. We pretended to be seeds that started small and grew into tall flowers with sun and rain. We carried flowers across the balance beam to plant. Finally, we made hand-printed flowers, practicing cutting, gluing, and painting. We were grateful to have special visitors providing extra hands!
