J-K through 4th Grade Lakeview Colony Students Welcome Spring with Writing, Art and Adventure. March was a lively month for the J-K through 4th grade students at Lakeview Colony as they prepared for the arrival of spring. With the weather already hinting at warmer days, students channeled their excitement into an opinion-writing project focused on the new season. To begin, the classes read and listened to stories about spring, gathering details and ideas. Together they completed a graphic organizer, noting signs of spring and reasons the season is special.

After drafting, proofreading and polishing their work, they wrapped up the project by painting a smiley-face welcome sign to be displayed outside the classroom.
