We looked at all the different class poems from the 2005 project.
Then, we read the following books and talked about signs of Spring in
Texas:
Spring Has Sprung by Jennifer Walters
Curious George Flies a Kite by Margaret Rey

The Froggy Fable by John Lechmer
Here Comes the Strikeout
How Do You Know It's Spring
and Mrs. Hammock's son's 7th grade Science project-- a notebook of
Texas Wildflowers
We also listened to Louis Armstrong, "What a Wonderful World" and on May
1, we will write poems with the 5 W's poetry format.

How Do We Know It's Spring?
by
Jose' and Shelby, 1st graders
When we can go outside to play and the flowers are blooming, then we
know it's spring time!
When Mrs. Hammock will take us outside for Reading class, and we can see
and hear a black bird, then it is Spring!
When we see yellow, blue, pink, purple and white flowers and the grass
is green. . .
It is Spring!

One day, it was Spring, and it was sunny and bright yellow flowers were
blooming. That's what makes Spring pretty!
Spring

Megan, 3rd grade
In Spring, it is colorful. . .red, blue, yellow and green are the colors
you see. The flowers bloom, birds fly, and some people fly kites. Warm
weather brings out butterflies and bees. |

We Like Spring
by Shelia & Cheyenne, 4th grade
We like Spring, because you can see flowers blooming. You can see
butterflies flying from flower to flower.
We also see bees taking nectar from flowers to their hives.
We can see baby birds in their nest waiting for their mothers to bring
them worms. |
