Spring is coming! Right???

Though spring doesn't seem to truly begin in Wisconsin until May, a few warm days early in the month propelled us into starting a "spring/planting" unit here at our Maple St. schoolhouse.  Alas, they were only teaser days...it's 40 degrees and drizzly here today...and this is supposed to last all...week...long.  Here's a list of some fun books we've been reading.  They are so colorful and cheerful, and in spite of our varied weather, we've been inspired to begin work on our own garden beds (weather permitting) and dream about what to plant in May...butterfly garden here we come!  And here's hoping that our spring doesn't end like it did in "Mud Flat Spring"!  You'll have to read it to find out what I mean ;-).
