Spring is a great time to invite children to explore nature. Let them experience planting seeds, watching how a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly or take a walk in the park to see, hear and smell the birds, the flowers, and the green grass. Talk to them about cute young animals that make their appearance at this time of year. There is a variety of themes and picture books that can help you get organized for Spring. We hope you will find something that inspires you in our teaching resources!<\/p>\n
Here is an example of a beautiful poem in English and Spanish that you can find in our Teacher’s Guides.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!!!<\/p>\n
The Caterpillar<\/p>\n
A caterpillar crawled to the top of a tree,
\nI think I will take a nap, said he.
\nso under a leaf, he began to creep
\nspun his cocoon and then
\nwent to sleep
\nFor many weeks it slept quietly,
\nUntil one warm day the sun came out and said,
\nWake up sleepy head!
\nTime to get out of bed!
\nSo, it opened its eyes,<\/p>\n
And LOOK! It was a butterfly!<\/p>\n
It opened its wings and flew away in that beautiful sunny day!<\/p>\n
La Peque\u00f1a oruga<\/p>\n
La peque\u00f1a oruga trep\u00f3 a lo m\u00e1s alto del \u00e1rbol,
\nCreo que tomar\u00e9 una siesta dijo
\nEntonces debajo de una hoja se acomod\u00f3
\nHil\u00f3 su capullo y despu\u00e9s
\nse fue a dormir
\nPor muchas semanas durmi\u00f3 y durmi\u00f3,
\nHasta que un d\u00eda sali\u00f3 el sol y le dijo,
\n\u00a1Lev\u00e1ntate dormilona!
\n\u00a1Es hora de salir de la cama!
\nEntonces abri\u00f3 sus ojos,
\nY \u00a1MIRA! \u00a1Era una mariposa hermosa!
\nAbri\u00f3 sus alas y vol\u00f3 contenta en ese d\u00eda tan soleado<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
