Books
Spring is Here! by Will Hillenbrand
Catty Jane Who Hated the Rain by Valeri Gorbachev
Spring Things by Bob Raczka; illustrated by Judy Stead
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
The children at Kindercare had been asking for the hungry caterpillar so I read that book to them instead of "Spring Things"
Songs/Flannel Board
Hello Springtime!
(Flannel board--sung to "Good Night Ladies")
Hello springtime!
Hello springtime!
Hello springtime!
I hope you're here to stay!
Then we sing hello to lots of springtime things...and we add those to the flannel board.
Blue sky
Green grass
Sunshine
Raindrops

My Garden (by Jean Warren)
(Tune: "Skip To
My Lou")
We first pantomimed getting ready to plant a garden...digging up the earth, deciding on what we want to plant, putting our seeds in the ground and covering them up, etc.
Sun in the sky; shine, shine, shine.
Sun in the sky; shine, shine, shine.
Sun in the sky; shine, shine, shine.
Help me with my garden.
Additional verses:
Rain from the clouds, drip, drip,
drip.
Seeds in the dirt, grow, grow, grow.
Rain,
Rain
(Tune: “Row Row Row Your Boat”)
Rain,
rain falling down (flutter fingers down)
Falling
on the ground
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
What
a lovely sound!
Repeat
