Spring Circle Time Highlights
A spring-themed circle time with songs, poems, and fingerplays about rain, wind, and animals in the spring.
Every time it rains during my preschool program, we sing this song during circle time. I love hearing the children singing it on their own as soon as the rain starts falling! Enjoy this poem in Episode 30 of Purple Day.
PITTER PATTER, unknown
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Look at all the rain
Running down the window sill and on the windowpane
Sounding like the pitter patter of little fairy feet
Running down the garden path
And running down the street
Washing everybody’s shop.
Pitter patter pitter patter
When’s it gonna stop!?
About the Story: Grandpa Ivy & the Windy Day, by Becca Lane
It was a windy spring day in Riverbend, and Grandpa Ivy stood on his porch watching the wind blow to and fro. While he was standing there, the wind took his hat right off the top of his head! In this silly story, Grandpa Ivy and his neighbor, Dante, chase his hat as the wind blows it here, there, and everywhere!
