Bedtime "Bugs" & Buds
As the sun stays out a little longer, wind down with stories that celebrate the season's awakening.
The Activity: Flashlight Reading. Grab a cozy blanket and head to a "secret garden" (a tent made of sheets!) with a flashlight. Read spring classics like:
• The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle)
• Planting a Rainbow (Lois Ehlert)
• Waiting for Wings (Lois Ehlert)
Ask your child: "If you were a tiny seed sleeping in the dirt, what kind of flower would you want to wake up as?" 🌸

🤝 The "Hand-in-Hand" Family Tree
Stronger together! 🌳 This weekend, create a 'Family Friendship Tree.' Trace or paint every family member's handprint on a large sheet of paper to create a beautiful piece of collaborative art.
As you work, talk about what it means to be a good friend and how your family supports one another with love.

Weekly wisdom!

02/25/2026

February 25th is National Quiet Day!
As the name suggests, this day celebrates quiet activities and the beauty of silence.
Noise is everywhere — in the car, in the classroom, and even at home! Modern life is noisy; it seems like there is simply no way out of it. Being in the constant presence of noise can be overwhelming and it is important to take a break every once in a while. We know that quiet is good for both the body and the mind. Peace calms us down and helps us re-center ourselves.

Unplug & plan some activities that don’t involve noise today – looking at books, drawing or painting, playing with building toys, maybe even taking a nature walk.
