Kindergarteners Celebrate Earth Day
Kindergarteners read “Our Planet, There's No Place like Earth” and brainstormed ways that they can take care of the planet. They worked with partners to write their ideas and then painted the Earth using a photograph for inspiration.

PSS Pre-K Students Decorate Flowerpots
Polk Street School’s pre-K classes celebrated the beginning of spring with a flowerpot craft on April 11. Following a party with an array of snacks, the students began decorating their own flowerpots. Using colorful spring stickers of bumblebees and flowers, they beautified their pots and prepared them for being filled with dirt. Donning gardening gloves, each student planted their flower seeds. The flowerpots will be placed on the classroom windowsills for the students to observe their growth.
