Have you ever wondered where the “April showers bring May flowers” phrase may have come from? The phrase “April Showers Bring May Flowers” goes all the way back to the mid 16th century. A poet and farmer named Thomas Tusser wrote the book A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry and in April Section, the following poem was written: “Sweet April showers do Spring May flowers.” Patience through the most unpleasant times, like April showers, will eventually lead to beauty, like May flowers, is what he meant. As our language changed, so did how we said this old proverb, but the meaning never changed. So just remember this on those rainy Spring days. (Envirokids’ Club)
Last but not least, a friendly reminder that the weather is changing, yes cooler/warmer. Please make sure your child has appropriate outside wear along with a seasonal change of clothing (please check the size as they might have grow a few inches within the last six months).
As always, thank you for partnering with us for the academic growth and overall success of your child. It is our goal that they do their very best each and every day.
