Introduction:
Sing a Song of Piglets takes the reader on a journey through the months of the year. Each month offers a glimpse of what to expect and adventure that could happen. This book is a great resource for preschool or young elementary students who are making connections about months and what happens in each month.
March
By Eve Bunting
Illustrated by Emily Arnold McCully
Sing a song of shamrocks,
tucked behind each ear.
a scarf that’s green,
a tambourine…
St. Patrick’s Day is here.
[from SING A SONG OF PIGLETS by Eve Bunting, Illustrated by Emily Arnold McCully, Clarion Books, 2002]
Extension:
Read the poem twice. On the second reading show the illustrations. After reading the poem, ask students what other events happen in March and what the weather tends to be like in March. Create a March Web with the information the students share out.
