By: Kegan, Mrs. Spencer's 1st Grade Class
 
What do you hear?  You hear rain.  You hear wind.  Also, you hear birds singing songs in their nest.  What do you see?  I see three friends playing with a jump rope.  What do you smell?  You smell flowers.  What do you feel?  You feel fresh air.  Spring is the best season ever!!!!
