Signs of Spring

It's Spring!

Warm days cause the meadow to awaken! Migrating birds have returned, babies are born and flowers burst forth.

On our walk this week, students were asked to observe and record all the signs of Spring that they noticed. The students were asked to use all their senses to make their observations.

Back at school, the students used Smart Ideas 5.0 to map out their observations. Shown here is work by Reese, Adnan and Parwez.
