Spring has sprung....

The grass is greening, the trees are budding and the flowers are popping....spring has definitely sprung!  I'll be posting some 2nd grade poetry and photos in the next few days.  In the meantime, here's a poem by Nikki Grimes to celebrate this day:

Look!  Here's a fresh

green growing word.

SPRING. I plant it

like a seed.
