We listened to a Spring Equinox Celebration with Kainai Elder Saa’kokoto. We heard a story about how Thunder wants to be appreciated as a gift because Thunder brings Spring rains. Then we went outside and did a sit spot for 5 minutes to open our senses and our minds and our hearts to the first signs of spring! We also did a sharing circle to share what we noticed during the sit spots! The official first day of spring is this Sunday, March 20th. How will you celebrate the equinox?

Today we started planning our arctic animal dioramas on a piece of paper. It was really fun! It's important to plan first so you know what you're doing and what order to do things in.
We also did a team-building activity where we tried to lower a hula hoop to the ground using only straight fingers. It required team work and good communication. It wasn't easy, but it sure was fun, fast, and loud!
