The Merry Month of May

Happy May Day!

Image from Will’s nursery school May Day walk, taken today as 16 nursery-schoolers hung May baskets on houses throughout the village. Wouldn’t you like to come to find that hanging on your door?

Wishing you a day of unexpected surprises, too.

    That is so sweet! I still remember making construction paper May Day baskets in kindergarten! πŸ™‚ It helps that the weather was beautiful today too.

    What a great idea. Kindergarten teachers (preschool whatever…) are the BEST!

    Oh, that’s a wonderful idea. I have some vague memory of a Maypole, at the tiny private school I went to through 3rd grade, but nothing like this. (Of course, there’s nothing to stop me filing this away somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain and pulling it out next year – I don’t need a preschooler to make bouquets for my neighbors!)

    That would be lovely!

    I remember being a little one and leaving one of these on my grandmother’s door and thinking how awesome it was that I was doorbell ditching!!! πŸ™‚

    Oh man, we got snow too! I would have liked a flower basket MUCH better. I remember making something like this back in kindergarten and leaving it for my grandma!
