Walk outside, take a deep breath, and feel the warm sunshine on your face—Spring is in full swing!

The month of May is full of fun little holidays that you can celebrate with the children in your life like honoring your favorite teacher on National Teachers Day, reading a nursery rhyme together on Mother Goose Day,or plan a picnic in the park on Love a Tree Day

Of course, those all pale in comparison to Mother's Day : )
You can send your mom a fun and free ecard or take a look at the video below for a cool, craftsy Mother's Day gift idea that children can create with their hands.


This month's Early Literacy calendar is once again full of fun suggestions that parents and caregivers can engage in with their children to help nurture and develop necessary early literacy skills.
