As winter slowly turns into spring again, we’re remembering how excited the after‑school class was to make birdfeeders to welcome our neighborhood birds! Try it at home: Punch two holes at the top of a toilet paper roll and tie yarn for hanging. Spread peanut butter around the roll, then roll it in birdseed. Hang it outside and see which birds stop by!

Crayola Creativity Week • Day 4: REACHING TEAM GOALS
Today we learned how teamwork helps everyone succeed. Inspired by Harry Kane, Matt Turner, and Marina Ruiz, our young creators designed their own sports balls and explored what it means to work together.

✨ Crayola Creativity Week — Day 1: “Facing the Music” 🎶
If you’re able at home, invite your child to create something music-inspired:
🎵 Turn a music note into a character with an emotion/personality
🎸 Decorate a guitar design with patterns, symbols, and color

✅ Bring your creation on the next school day so we can share in class!
📸 We’d also love to see photos—feel free to share them with us.
