Happy Spring! Celebrate with a poem!

Spring
~By Lee Bennett Hopkins

Roots
sprouts
buds
flowers

always-
always-
cloud-bursting showers

rhymes
April fools
fledglings on wing

no thing
is
newer
or
fresher
than
spring.

From the book: Sharing the Seasons: A Book of Poems. Selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins. Illustrated by David Diaz. Margaret K. McElderry Books. 2010.

The cooler weather gives the perfect feeling for Fall!

Here is a poem in the form of a recipe to help us say hello to Autumn!

Encourage your kids to create their own recipes for Autumn, November, cool weather, etc. If you feel like sharing, please to post them to this blog!
