Summer is in full swing in the Sprouts room. Friends are busy playing in water, tending to our garden, and working in the sand box. Groups have worked together to paint flower pots, pick chammomile flowers for tea, make fresh fruit popsicles, and read books about summer. Below are two of our favorite poems about summer. We hope you're inspired to write one of your own!
Barefoot Days by Rachel Field
In the morning, very early,
That's the time I love to go
Barefoot where the fern grows curly
And grass is cool between each toe,
On a summer morning-O!
On a summer morning!That is when the birds go by
Up the sunny slopes of air,
And each rose has a butterfly
Or a golden bee to wear;
And I am glad in every toe
Such a summer morning-O!
Such a summer morning!
We Have a Little Garden by Beatrix Potter
We have a little garden,
A garden of our own,
And every day we water there
The seeds that we have sown.
We love our little garden,
And tend it with such care,
You will not find a faded leaf
Or blighted blossom there.
