Poem:  

Five Pretty Flowers

 Five Little Flowers"

(place flowers & sun on flannel board)

Five little flowers growing in a row    

(hold up five fingers, gesture to row)

The first one said, "We need rain to grow."    

(hold up 1 finger, imitate rain falling)

The second one said, "Yes, we need water!"    

(hold up 2 fingers, nod head)

The third one said, "Whew, it's getting hotter!"    

(hold up 3 fingers, wipe brow)

The fourth one said, "Look, there are clouds in the sky."

(4 fingers, point to sky; place clouds on board over sun)

The fifth one said, "I wonder why?"    

(5 fingers, hold palms out questioningly)

Then "BOOM" went the thunder,    

(clap hands together loudly)

And "ZAP" went the lightening.    

(draw zig-zag in air; put lightning bolt on flannel board)

That springtime storm was kind of frightening.    

(shiver)

But were the flowers scared?  No, no, no.    

(shake head; remove lightning bolt)

They knew they needed rain to grow, grow, grow.    

(hold hand above ground & raise; put raindrops on board)

In spring, people plant seeds in gardens. Students have their last weeks of school. See how everyone celebrates this special season.

Preschoolers will love lifting the oversize flaps to play peek-a-boo with bunnies, groundhog, ducklings, and of course, flowers. Guess who? Peeka- BLOOM! beams the Daisy. Guess who? Peek-a? HELLO SPRING!! greets the Groundhog. With its playful text and bright and friendly illustrations, Peek-a-Bloom! is the perfect introduction to spring for young children.

We will have another Peek-a-Boo Story Time program on Friday, April 12th.  Thank you to everyone who attended yesterday's program.  We truly appreciate all your support!
