Some regions seem more spring than others, but an ordinary walk is an amazing chance to practice observing skills and extend basic science knowledge, adding to kindergarten readiness at the same time. Put on your shoes or boots, depending on the weather, and head outside. You and your child can put on your special noticing glasses and see what’s new.
What are the trees doing? Is the grass coming up? Do you see any flowers? The weather is always a topic of conversation–is the day cloudy, rainy, sunny, windy? (Hopefully, it’s not snowing!) Just about everywhere will have some sort of seasonal change. How about the birds, check to see what they’re doing. Q. Why did the bird go to the hospital? A. It needed tweetment. Happy Spring! What’s your favorite season of the year?
