Spring unit ideas

Posted in Spring

I'm so excited for the first day of spring to be here!

Next week will be the first full week of spring!  So we are going to have a unit just on SPRING stuff!

I must say, I have found the most wonderful books on Spring at the library! (yay for the library!) I hope you will be able to find some of these! I'm so excited about these books! I checked out quite a few spring titles...but these are my favorite ones from the bunch.

Rabbits and Raindrops (Picture Puffins)

 

Are You Spring?

Spring Song

The Circle of Seasons

Spring: An Alphabet Acrostic

Ordinary Things: Poems from a Walk in Early Spring

Here are some ideas I am using!

*List-making - make a list together of things that make you think of Spring

*Poetry - write an acrostic using the word SPRING

*We will be starting our Tabletop Garden this week!

*Go on a spring nature walk and notice the first signs of spring! Use this freebie download from Hearts and Trees, spring nature walk worksheet.

*Hannah is loving word searches these days, here is a simple one with spring words.

*Writing prompt called Spring Is...

*An online spring game - Catch the Raindrops

*Look at this cute flower craft using fingerprints!

*Is this flower pot not adorable? This would make a cute mother's day gift! I might have to save this project for the week we do plants...or maybe we could go ahead and make the cups and plant something now! (and if you wanted to make it more permanent I guess you could always glue the buttons onto a regular flower pot.)

I love Jim Arnosky books. There are several in the same series as the Rabbit and Raindrops one that I'm sure you will enjoy also. Great ideas, as always!
