For dictation:
Into my window a sunbeam bright
Comes with a glad good morning,
“The night is gone, it is time you were up,”
It is thus he gives me warning.
Thursday
Write five sentences, telling what the warm sunshine does.
Friday
Play, as a game, “I went to the woods and brought back a violet.” One child says, “I went to the woods, and brought back a violet and an anemone” (or any other flower). The next child says, “I went to the woods and brough back a violet, an anemone, and a hepatica.” Each child adds a flower to the list, as long as the children can remember the list of flowers.
