Spring Activities
We are winding down our academic subjects by this time of year, so I like to do some fun school-ish type things for fun. Here are some things we have tried:
DLTK- don't you just love this site?!! They have an entire page of spring flower activities, including crafts (lots of crafts), coloring pages, even the simple carnation science experiment. Print off a few things and have a ball. And don't miss the Insect page- poems, printables, crafts and even some recipes for things like marshmallow spiders. Yum
There are also some great spring activities for kids on apples4theteacher. We checked out some of the recommended spring books, printed out some of the short stories that caught our eye to make our own books, and worked on some word puzzles.
We also spent some time on one of my favorite printable sites- Jan Brett's site. I love her books, The Mitten is still my favorite, and her site is very generous with freebies. We made a GingerbreadBaby board game, learned to draw Hedgie the hedgehog, and used her stationery to write letters to family.
And to send you off with a cheery note, here is a poem we used for copywork this week.
The Call of Spring
by Norman Schlichter
When spring begins
Again to light
Our happy world
With colors bright,
The robins all come
Back to see
How beautiful
The earth will be,
With crocus gold,
And daffodils
Lighting meadows,
Fields, and hills;
With leaves of green
And tulips gay,
And birds arriving
Every day.
