Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face
By Jack Prelutsky
Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you’d be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.
Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.
Warm Up Time
Time to get your creative juices flowing. I was thinking that because it is spring time we would warm up with some fun things that you might celebrate or find around you in spring!
Learning Time
Did you hang up your spring picture somewhere where you can see it and appreciate the amazing art skills Heavenly Father has given you? Spring is such a wonderful opportunity to look around you and appreciate the beauty of LIFE all around us! Do you see the opportunity to live life as beautiful? I do! And I think Spring is a wonderful time to reflect on that. Go out side. Take a close look around you. Do you see signs of NEW LIFE around you? Is your grass beginning to turn green again? Do you see beautiful blossoms on the trees where NEW LEAVES will be soon? What about bugs and bees and birds and baby animals. Do see any of THOSE around you? Spring is ALL around you. Symbols of Heavenly Fathers love and the promise of a continuation of life! HOORAY! Don’t you want to shout it from the roof tops? Try it with me, “HOORAY for Spring!”
New life is so exciting to watch. One of my favorite thing to watch are caterpillars. Have you ever taken the time to follow the life of a caterpillar? It’s really neat because you can see the different stages of the caterpillar right before your very eyes. Lets learn a little bit together.
Isn’t that neat to see?
Spring is chuck full of new life and fresh new changes. If you REALLY want to see spring changes, ask your mom to take you to a farm. Have you ever been to a farm in the spring? There is a LOT of animals “coming to life.” Pigs, cows, goats, and bunnies, just to name a few. All cute a cuddly and happy to be alive. Just incase you don’t have a farm near by, I’ve included some “spring time” farm videos for you to enjoy.
Whether you get to see an egg hatch in real life, a caterpillar turn into a butterfly or simply enjoy watching new flowers pop up in your yard, celebrating the life cycles that Heavenly Father has created around us helps us feel His joyful, loving, CREATIVE nature!
To end off this weeks blog post, pick a craft below that you would like to do to celebrate the wonderful joys of the world waking up and being born, once again! You don’t have to do them all, and be sure to check with you mom first. Then display it in your home where you and your family can enjoy YOUR new creation. If it is something easy to bring to class, feel free to bring it. If not, take a picture of you making it and be sure to have your mom send it to me so I can show it to the class. If you don’t see one here that brings a smile, feel free to do one of your own. See you on Thursday! (Oh, and a little song to get your love for this beautiful world around you flowing).
Love, Miss Jinger
