We interviewed local spring specialists at Alameda Elementary to find out what they love most about the upcoming season. After all, this will be their sixth go around the sun! Here’s what they had to say:
You can do more fun stuff like Oaks Park, because it’s closed in the winter; you can ride your bike; and you don’t have to wear your raincoat all the time!
You can play fun games that you want to play, like sports with your friends. The sport that I really want to play is football with my neighbor Sam.
You can plant flowers and see the animals in the zoo; you can go swimming in the pool with the shark slide.
All the animals come back from sleeping or migrating and leaves come back nice and green; and I always see my dog in spring.
You get to relax and the day is more longer; you get to have picnics like in the front yard under a tree; you can go on vacation for spring break; and we are going camping on Mt. Hood.
I don’t know the place I’m going, but I’m going on a trip.
Spring is fun to play in because it’s warmer; the air smells fresh and I want to make myself sing.
