Colorful Spring!
A Collaborative Internet Literacy Project Spring 2005

Favorite book: Bear Wants More
by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman

My kindergartners and I brainstormed colorful signs of spring after taking a spring walk and sharing signs of spring they brought from home. We used the ideas to write our class poem. We are so excited that spring is back so it is a welcome back love letter! We call it:

Red tulips,

Yellow daffodils,

Green caterpillars,

Yellow and black bees,

We drew pictures to go with the poem and have both displayed on our door.

We read several books about spring but our favorite was Bear Wants More by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman

We have many spring projects going including hatching chicken eggs! We just finished learning about seeds and have things sprouting all over our room.

We had fun making daffodils and learning a poem that the grandmother of one of our classmates taught us.

A little yellow cup.

A little yellow frill.

A little yellow star.

That's a daffodil.
