Spring poems

During my class of extracurricular activity, a teacher in a class I teach suggested me bringing in some poems written in English for kids to practice writing and reciting in English. Here are a couple of poems I have just found on the web:



Spring


Spring is a great time of year
Winter's gone, now all can cheer


Looking forward to summer, leaving behind the past
In a short time, glorious weather at last

Spring brings us flowers and life anew
All sorts of animals there to bid you ado

The spring gives us budding and trees that will turn green
Giving us a place where their welcome shade can be seen

Winter water rises to a pleasing temp
Spring truely is a time that's heaven sent

Spring passes quickly in weeks but a few
Then summer bursts in with all things anew 

James Casey 


April

Rain has such fun in April, it patters through the trees
Talking to all the leaf buds and robins that it sees
It splashes through the puddles and skips along the walks
Goes coasting down the grass blades and dandelion stalks
It dips in all the flowers and when the clouds blow by
It paints with flower colors a rainbow in the sky.

April

April is made of such wonderful things
Sunbeams and tulips and butterfly wings.

Happy name day Daddy!

Today is my father's name day. It's been two months since he's gone. My mother bought a bunch of red carnations to take them to his grave. Since I couldn't go with her today, I just thought of him and his last year's name day. I think he never actually celebrated it, but his aunt used to phone him on this day every year to congratulate him.


Happy name day Dad!

Easter school fair

This year's Easter school fair will take place on April 15, so I figured now is the time to start making decorations and cards with the kids in school. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to participate in the fair, but I'm looking forward to making that stuff. This way I'll have ornaments to decorate my home with on this wonderful day.
The snow has almost completely melted, the temperature has risen, and there's so much positive energy in the air. It seems like winter is finally going away and making room for spring. That's why I brought the flowerpots out of the garage into the garden. The plants are holding just fine considering the fact that they've been locked in a dark place without a single ray of sun for quite a long period of time.

While I was searching the internet looking for some Easter ideas, I ran into these websites:


Here are some ideas for home decoration:
