Happy Spring, Common Ground Community!

Today Common Ground celebrates 49 years! We filed our very first State Corporation Commission documents on April 6, 1972 and today we celebrated in every classroom with a birthday party! But the fun doesn’t stop with today. We will be celebrating ALL SPRING! You can check out this post on how you can help us celebrate 49 years of quality care and education!

Did you know that today is also ‘California poppy Day’? Well, according to the internet, it’s true! The California poppy is also the state flower of California, where as here in Virginia both our state tree and state flower is the flowering dogwood tree.

Why all this talk of flowers and trees you ask? Well, our classrooms will begin to work together on our garden boxes over the next month! Our Owls kicked it off yesterday with a Dino-dig in our newest garden beds and with the potatoes that they planted in bags by the picnic table. The rest of our class rooms will contribute a week from tomorrow on Work Together Wednesday during our Week of the Young Child celebration. Then the Honeybees will take over with a longer unit on things that grow, now that they have returned from exploring outer space!

Here’s what we have in store for you during The Week of the Young Child, kicking off this Saturday - don’t forget to sign up for our Saturday Hours!

We are also happy to announce that Miss Hui Hui is BACK! She has returned to our infant team as we are so happy to welcome 4 new families into our community!

Thank you all for being an important part of making our community a great place to be!

Love,

The CG Admin team
