Spring has finally sprung in my corner of the world, ok we have had lots of signs of spring, but the weather is finally cooperating. So this week we are going to focus on our own backyards. With the world still shut down to some degree, the backyard is a safe place to be.
In my backyard by Lori F.
In my backyard
I can be
Anything I want to be
I can ride in a spaceship
Up to the moon
I can set up a picnic
And eat mud pies with a spoon
I can roll in the grass
Or watch the clouds roll by
I can swing on my swing
And pretend I can fly
In my backyard
I can be
Anything I want to be
Take time today to let your child’s imagination run wild in the backyard. Have a picnic lunch. Lay down and look at the clouds, birds and see if you can find a plane.
Your backyard is an ecosystem. Can you find living and nonliving things? Can you find various types of plants and animals that make your backyard their home?
When you come back in, after you wash your hands, complete a writing assignment. You will notice that one sets your child up to write a narrative. The other sets your child up to write an expository text. Yes, children as young as 4/5 can write both, and enjoy it!
