Spring has Sprung, begun last year, returns bigger than before
Spring fling at Rye Lake Lower Campus a learning opportunity, seasonal celebration
A “Spring has Sprung” event provided instructional opportunities disguised as a celebration of the change of seasons at Rye Lake Lower Campus. Students interacted and engaged with their teachers and one another, playing games, hunting eggs and getting their faces painted, among other activities. There was an underpinning of academic substance they might have missed for all the pastel-tinged revelry.
“The purpose is to celebrate spring,” Principal Julia Dolan said, “but it also gives us the opportunity to build social skills while practicing how to maintain conversations, stay on topic, request, respond to ‘WH’ questions, use descriptive language, and take turns.”
