One of our favorite spring traditions is almost here—and you’re invited! 🌸🍼

Join us on April 25 for the Wildlife Clinic’s annual Baby Shower, sponsored by the Allstate Foundation! This family-friendly event is the perfect way to celebrate baby season while making a real difference for Rhode Island’s wildlife.

Enjoy an afternoon filled with:
🍦 Ice cream treats
🎨 Face painting & arts and crafts
🎈 Balloon animals
🦊 Educational activities
💛 And maybe even a chance to meet some of the baby animals in our care!

Every spring, we welcome a surge of orphaned and injured wildlife, and this event helps us prepare. Donations of feeding supplies and nursery essentials go directly toward the lifesaving care these tiny patients depend on.

Bring your family, celebrate the season, and be part of something meaningful. We can’t wait to see you there!

Can’t make it? You can still help by supporting us through our Amazon Wish List. Link in bio!

✨ This week our learning spaces were buzzing with creativity and innovation!

Students explored our Maker Space, transforming recycled 📦 materials into imaginative new products while thinking about sustainability and design. 📐Our creators tested their hand-made mini sled designs during our outdoor 🏂sledding times. In our Micro Business Lab, learners worked on fine tuning our Kindness in 🌻Bloom logo, and they chose designs for the different products we will be making and selling.

Our young writers 📚 worked together to problem solve as they became secret agents during a fun “Classroom Spy” 🔍 writing activity, crafting creative, evidence based theories about who the spy might be. During STEM exploration we formulated 🧪crystals and built challenging structures. Our SEL lesson about gratitude included writing about the different people we are grateful for in our program and our lives. 💕

We finished our week with a Mini Winter Olympics. Everyone earned medals 🏅 for the country they are researching about for our upcoming International Fair 🌎 on March 25th.

It was a week full of creativity, entrepreneurship, imagination, and joyful learning together!

Our learning collaborative has been busy this February! We are so proud of how well our learners are working and playing together! 👏🏻

We have been researching different states, 📚writing book reviews, and practicing our presentation skills🙌🏻. SEL lessons this month focused on being an illuminator💡, showing appreciation for one another, and ways we display courage. We practiced following recipes and measurements as we made homemade ice cream and oobleck. Creative logo designs 🎨 were developed by our teams for our micro business, Kindness in Bloom. 🌸 So much collaboration, curiosity, and teamwork happening all around; learning and building community truly comes alive when we do it together. ☀️

A huge thank you to The Wildlife Clinic of RI for visiting our program! 🦉🦅 Our students were absolutely fascinated and inspired by the incredible animal rehabilitation stories, and hands-on learning you shared with us. Your team brought science, compassion, and curiosity to life in such a meaningful way. We’re so grateful for the work you do and for giving our learners an unforgettable experience. 💚🌿

As another Compassion in Action project, our community wrote thank you notes and included ‘You Make a Difference’ poems and keychains to encourage the tireless efforts of the clinic staff and volunteers! ☀️😊
