📢 Email Update: Mid-Spring is Upon Us
|
Aloha Reader! As we approach the end of April, I hope you’re feeling the energy and renewal that spring brings! This season is a perfect reminder that growth happens in small, steady ways — just like the work you do every day with your students. Here are a few fun spring facts to brighten your day: 🌸 Did you know that the first day of spring is called the vernal equinox, when day and night are nearly the same length? Spring symbolizes fresh beginnings, creativity, and perseverance — values we see blooming in our classrooms as students tackle new challenges and prepare for the end of the year. Take a moment to appreciate all the ways you have nurtured curiosity, resilience, and joy in your students. Let's carry this springtime spirit with us as we head into the final stretch of the school year! Updates on the Podcast:
