RIVER TALES: Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

Join a boy and his dog as they explore nature and take a stroll through the countryside, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with everything from the melting brook to chirping birds, they say goodbye to winter and welcome spring.

This February, we’ll read Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring by Kenard Pak. This book is an excellent tool for young learners to explore this unique time of year.

After the story, participants will make drawings of the four seasons and join a special scavenger hunt. Young learners and their caregivers will explore the season changes with four tree colorings that will then be glued together to form a standing 3D tree. Once the craft is finished, children can spin their trees and experience each season.
