Spring
By: Myra Cohn Livingston
Introduction: This is a Haiku poem that discusses the excitement of spring. Have this poem displayed when the children enter the classroom for them to view while they conduct their morning routines.
How the birds quarrel
Among themselves this morning
Over one small worm!
Extension: Ask the children how nature mirrors our classroom? After spring break, children tend to get excited about things in our classroom just like nature. Have them popcorn out ideas and make a plan to keep our excitement in check to keep our classroom nest running smoothly. (Example: Not fighting over the pencil sharpener)
