Many themes are useful during this period, like Dr. Seuss Reading Week, March and April reading themes and crafts, and holidays.

As part of spring themes, weather is a fun way to incorporate STEM learning activities. For example, you can use rain and the water cycle to discuss how water evaporates and cycles back to Earth.

Besides, you can also discuss cloud formations, severe weather conditions, and seasons. For instance, you can create lessons about tornadoes, hurricanes, and tropical storms.
