Instructions: Read the poem below. Talk about what happens during springtime.

The snow starts to melt. The birds fly up from the warm south. The flowers emerge. The grass turns green. Baby animals are born.

Look at the purple and gold crocus. Mix red and blue paint to make purple paint. Use the paint to make a purple crocus.



Spring has come! I know it! I know it!

The sun begins shining, the plants start their vining, the bugs get to dining.

Spring has come! I know it! I know it!

The brooks start to murmur, the worms get to squirmer, the robins affirmer.

Spring has come! I know it! I know it!

The crocuses cupping in purple and gold, are filled to the brim with the sunshine they hold.

Spring has come! I know it! I know it!
