Colorful Spring: Mrs. Cannady's Class

Colorful Spring!
A Collaborative Internet Literacy Project Spring 2005

Mrs. Amy Cannady's Second Grade
South Elementary School
Marshall, Illinois

Book: Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mole by Jane Yolen

This story tells of a young mole's first experience with spring. We then wrote a class poem about signs of spring in our area and drew pictures of spring activities.

Mrs. Cannady's Class Poem

Spring

Pink and yellow flowers
Are growing everywhere.
The red-breasted robin tells us
Spring is in the air.

Farmers, players, gardeners
Start their spring routine.
Plowing, kicking, digging
And everything in between.

Spring is finally here.
It will end too soon, we fear.
The yellow sun will keep on shining
In seasons throughout the year.
