Happy Spring!

Blue bird


THE BLUEBIRD
I KNOW the song that the bluebird is singing,
Up in the apple-tree where hejs swinging, 
Brave little fellow! The skies may look dreary,— 
    Nothing cares he while his heart is so cheery.

   Hark! how the music leaps out from his throat!
   Hark! was there ever so merry a note?
   Listen a while and you'll hear what he's saying,
   Up in the apple-tree, swinging and swaying.

   "Dear little blossoms, down under the snow.
   You must be weary of winter, I know;
   Hark, while I sing you a message of cheer!
   Summer is coming and springtime is here.

   Little white snowdrop, I pray you arise,
   Bright little crocus, come, open your eyes;
   Sweet little violets hid from the cold,
   Put on your mantle of purple and gold!
   Daffodils! Daffodils! Say, do you hear?
   Summer is coming, and springtime is here!"

E. H. Miller

Click to view PDF
From CurrClick:

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. I have put together a Holiday Helper just right for the busy parent. There is no preparation (except for easy, yummy soda bread), just time together to enjoy. There is a biography of Patrick that is rich and engaging, rare illustrations for study and learning, a recipe for real Irish soda bread and an essay you and your children won't want to miss, entitled, "The Real St. Patrick".
What's inside:

* The Real St. Patrick: An essay by Charles Mack
* St. Patrick, A biography from Our Island Saints
* Picture Study: Three In One
* Picture Study: St. Patrick Expels the Snakes
* Mapwork: Map of Ireland
* Recipe: Irish Soda Bread
* Copywork: St. Patrick's Breastplate
"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F. Potter, signer of Humanist Manifesto 1930

"Open war is upon you whether you will risk it or not!" — Aragorn, "Return of the King"
