Spring is here!
Please forgive the lateness of this message. I guess I got distracted by all of the activity and fun of Easter. I hope you had a great time with your family too.
Luckily the supply list for this month is minimal, so I doubt any of you will need to make last-minute trips to the store.
We are studying Renaissance painter Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (better known as Botticelli), whose story I think you will find funny.
