Home Learning Toolkit - March Newsletter
Dear Home Learning Toolkit Participants,
Spring is just around the corner! Let's embrace the change of seasons with some fun and educational activities.
​
Parenting Tip
Encourage Outdoor Play: As the weather warms up, encourage your children to spend more time outside. Outdoor play promotes physical health, creativity, and a connection with nature.
​
Activities
-
Spring Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of signs of spring (e.g., budding flowers, insects, birds) and go on a scavenger hunt in your yard or local park. It's a fun way to observe seasonal changes.​​

-
Planting Seeds: Start a small indoor garden by planting seeds in pots. Teach your children how to care for the plants and watch them grow. It's a great lesson in responsibility and biology.
​
-
Rainbow Art: Use watercolors, markers, or crayons to create rainbow-themed art. Discuss how rainbows form and the colors of the spectrum. It's a colorful way to learn about science and art.
March was named after Mars, the Roman god of war. In ancient Rome, March marked the beginning of the military campaign season, making it a time of new beginnings and strategic planning.
