Apr 22nd Earth Day Fun and “Going on a Bear Hunt”

Happy Earth Day!

I thought this was a cute poem (it’s sunny today in Pellston, MI, I guess it’s cloudy in Dearborn).

I Meant To Do My Work Today

by Richard Le Gallienne

I meant to do my work today,

But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,

And a butterfly flitted across the field,

And all the leaves were calling me. 

And the wind went sighing over the land,

Tossing the grasses to and fro,

And a rainbow held out its shining hand–

So what could I do but laugh and go?

I found this poem from this website that has a lot of fun things to do if you are looking for craft ideas, puzzles, poems, coloring sheets, etc. It had some fun stuff on it:  Earth Day Crafts, Worksheets, Games and Activities  It says “Earth Day,” but a lot of the material (like the poem above) is spring/summer related.

HOMEWORK

Remember to do your homework from our virtual classroom meeting on Tuesday.  Please put a stuffed bear in your front window and then “go for a bear hunt” (walk the neighborhood looking for stuffed bears in windows). I will ask you on Thursday at 11 if you saw any bears in the windows!
