Homeschool ideas for spring:

• Refurbish bird houses.

• Fill and hang bird feeders.

• April Family Project: Make a "Spring Firsts" bulletin board.

  Hang cork or poster board in a prominent spot. Decorate it with colorful construction paper flowers.

  As all the "Firsts" are noticed, write them and the name of the first observers on large construction paper strips. If you can snap a picture and mount it, even better!

  For example: First sights and sounds

  robin
  bird song
  bird's nest
  green grass
  hyacinth
  crocus
  forsythia blossom
  crack of a baseball bat
  butterfly
  bug
  lawnmower
  

Spring is a delightful time of the year. Let's celebrate!
