Spring Fever

In our little corner of the world, the first week of March roared in like a lion giving the children some much desired snow. 

Here is a group of happy children playing on a snow pile.

A March Lion

This didn't last long as March has now given us some of the finest record breaking days we have ever seen.  We have gone from snowpants, heavy coats and mittens right to shorts.  Yes, shorts on March 22 in Southern Ontario, Canada!  Today the temperature reached 28 degrees celsius giving all of us a serious case of Spring Fever.

No coats for us!

Look at our knees!

We decided to go out looking for signs of Spring around our school property.  Here are some of the things we found.

The tulips in our flower garden are growing.
  

So are the tulips we made for craft.

 

We also found a blooming crocus.

A little wooly bear caterpillar was crawling across our parking lot.

All this lovely weather has the children asking "When are the summer holidays?"  Unfortunately more seasonal March weather is set to arrive in the morning.  Thank you to Mother Nature for giving us a preview of the warm summer weather that is to come.  We enjoyed it while it lasted.
