Spelling Poem #34: My Spring Garden

This weekend was pretty nice and warm!  I hope that you got to go outside for a little bit of fresh air.  If you go out to the parks or in your neighbour hood, remember to practice social distancing.  We can all have fun while staying safe :)

I have a poem for you called “My Spring Garden”.  Have you noticed that a lot of flowers and trees are starting to bloom and bud?  The warmer weather means that plants are growing again!  Are you growing anything in your garden?  I am trying to grow some herbs...this is what I have so far...they started from seeds!  As you can seem I’m growing sweet basil, parsley, and chives.  I cant wait for them to get bigger!
