These are just a few of my students this year on the day of graduation/end of year celebration.  They are reciting a poem about a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

Hard for me to capture photographically, but here's the bounty of plants we grew in our classroom this spring.  The peas and morning glories in the "window boxes" were planted at the tail end of February.  The sunflowers were planted at the end of April.  This photo was taken May 1.  Note the hugeness of the plants and the snow outside.  We start to get a lot of sun before we really get out of winter, so protected behind our Alaska windows, and situated above an overactive radiator, these flora were happy, happy.

the last hurrah

We woke up on May Day to a blanket of new snow.  Beautiful.  But, snow?    In May?   That's sooooo last November.
