“Children need two things: roots and wings”
This month as we move through a very wet Springtime, we bring out the books about animals, animal babies, farming, seeds, and all that goes with Spring!
Children grow and progress so quickly through the stages it feels like you have the routine down and you have figured your child out and then…It all changes!
Like I have talked about before, one of the skills your children can learn from birth is listening skills!
We have been reciting a spring poem at our story times about not only all the beauty of spring sprouting, but “Me TOO!”
“Me too”
Fields so green and skies so blue,
Spring has SPRUNG and now, ME TOO!!
Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing boing boing Boing!! (crescendo as you get louder with each boing!)
Take off those mittens and put away those coats,
It’s time for gardens and sailing with boats,
Boing boing boing boing boing boing boing Boing!!!
One of my favorite books we have read this month is another Patricia Polacco book about Pysanky Eggs which has paired well with our Spring Pysanky Egg class at the library.
Rechenka’s Eggs
A timely story of a classic tale of the beauty of the tradition of Pysanky Eggs. A very important book for now.
