May Day

I spent some time in the Pre-K room yesterday celebrating May Day. It was a cold, cloudy day, but those children are filled with sunshine. We read a book about Counting in the Garden and did a flower craft project. I feel so lucky that the school let's me come in once a year to do this. I grew up with May Day, and enjoy passing the traditions along to the next generation. One little girl looked at her flower and said to herself, "My flower is so beautiful." She was so sweet, I could have spread her on toast!

Happy May Day!

Happy May Day! I spent the morning at S's class, reading a story about a garden, dancing around the May Pole, and making May Baskets. I was happy the teachers let me come in and share some of our family traditions. The May Pole turned out great, and all the kids had a good time. They painted little wooden baskets and filled them with flowers I brought from my garden. All the children were very excited to bring them home. Do you have any May Day traditions?
