KNOX — It’s spring and with it comes rain, robins, Easter, and vacation!  We covered it all during April!

As we know, “April showers bring May flowers.”  This saying was depicted on a wall at our school decorated with umbrellas with hanging raindrops, made by our 3-year-olds, and brightly colored tulips, made by our 4-year-olds.

Another sure sign of spring are robins. Adding to the classroom’s spring theme, we have robins in a tree and robins in nests.

Easter stories about Corduroy, the bear, and Clifford, the big red dog, are the kids’ favorites.  Our Easter crafts included chicks with multicolored feathers, a bunny-shaped sun catcher, and bunny treat cups.

As is our tradition, the 4-year-olds hosted an Easter party for their grandparents. They made and mailed invitations. They worked very diligently to learn the bunny hop and a poem that they performed at the party wearing bunny-ears headbands, which, of course, they made!

Working together, the kids and grandparents completed crafts and colored a half-dozen eggs. Once all the “work” was finished, everyone enjoyed snacks and Easter treats.

Our alphabet journey is nearly complete. April’s letters were: U for unicorn, V for vase, and W for Worm.  A week of vacation has re-energized us all!  There is much to accomplish during our last six weeks of school.  

We are currently accepting applications for all classes for the 2017-18 school year. Please contact the school at (518) 872-2015 for applications and information.
