Nature's Treasures

Read Aloud

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Lesson 2

by Jane Morris Udovic illustrations by Jill Dubin

I know by heart the shapes of leaves, the smell of dirt, the buzz of bees.

2

And when it rains I hear each drop

I know how ants move in a line

and count them all until they stop.

and where to pet a porcupine.

Arts & Letters | © Great Minds PBC

Kindergarten | Module 1 | Lesson 2

I imitate the songs of birds and love to hear their chirpy words.

I know how pussy willows feel

As I explore the earth each day

and what a tree trunk’s rings reveal.

for hidden treasures tucked away, I wonder what the world can see when it sits back and looks at me.
