Spring Weather

With the coming of spring the Red Room really looks forward to our Outdoor Classroom time. We love the mild sunny days when we can peel off our jackets and the drizzly days when we can scoop water from puddles for “cooking” in the Mud Kitchen. We wonder about clouds that cover the sun and why the wind chimes hanging from a tree sometimes ring when no one touches them. Here are some books that support and encourage our outdoor experiences:
