Spring is here! And by that I mean dull, dreary weather and a reveal of ghastly little treasures that you can’t unsee, across the vast kingdom of sludge. If you look like you’re taking a walk of seasonal shame in your three layers of clothing and unkempt hair, then we are at the same point of imposter spring.
The temperature may be causing you to stress-sweat, but your lack of planning doesn’t have to. I’m here for you with my top 6 social-emotional learning resources to support you through Kindergarten to Grade 3 April lesson planning.
Don’t forget to read through to the end to grab your spring coloring page freebie!

Bulletin boards can be the bane of our existence- am I right? Although beautiful student work that does, and should, take up most of our learning environments, there is always this pressure to have our own decor as well.
