Each month Grace learns about special events or holidays that occur within that month. The theme of April is "Spring" so Grace has been learning about all the wonderful things that come along with Spring including warm sunshine, flowers blooming, birds singing.....One of Grace's favorite books is called, "It's Spring." Here is an excerpt:
The little deer ran with the bunny to tell the duck the sky was sunny.
The duck swam off and gave a quack to tell the cow, "The leaves are back!"
The cow let out a long moooo to tell the horse that flowers grew.
The horse went trotting down the lane to tell the rooster, "Watch for rain!"
Grace enjoyed finger painting an April rain storm a few days ago. Her original piece of art is pictured above and is titled, "April Showers." We have been talking about how "April Showers" bring May flowers, however, when we woke up this morning instead of seeing April rain showers we saw SNOW, and lots of it!!

Grace, Your picture is beautiful. What talent. You must take after your Mommy in that area. I remember when your Mommy and I would hang out together on family vacations. As little girls, we liked to take turns "doodling" in our notebooks together. Being younger than your Mommy, I thought she was the best Doodler I had ever seen =)Those were some great times drawing together. I will search for one of my old notebooks at my Mom's house and maybe this summer, we can all look through it together and let you and Michaela add new ones to it!
With Love,
Melissa
Grace, you are just like Pablo Picasso during his blue period! The expression that you used in this piece is outstanding! You are my inspiration to get through all of this April snow. I am trying to think of it as a thick layer of white frosting covering the ground...yummm.
Bye for now! Your Maddy
2 days before Easter
