This week, Ms. Macy’s art students celebrated spring by recycling old papers and using them to create seed bombs! Students used wildflower seeds so that they could throw them in the grass and encourage more flowers to grow this spring. Apparently some of the seeds couldn't wait until they were in the grass to start growing!
