 Erin
Moran's book, Colorful Spring, was our first read-aloud springtime book
this year. Her rhyming verses are enchanting and Danny Pickett's
flower illustrations are just beautiful!
Some other books we have enjoyed
are:
Miss Rumphius
- Barbara Cooney
Mrs.Toggle's Beautiful Blue Shoe
- Robin Pulver
Turtle Spring
- Deborah Zagwyn
That's What Happens When It's Spring!
- Elaine W. Good
Spring : An Alphabet Acrostic
- Steven Schnur
After taking a walk
outside to look for signs of spring, we began to write our spring poems.
Everyone wrote and illustrated a four-line poem. You can read them
on our
Spring Poems page.
Then our class wrote this diamante poem together:
