Clifford
wanted to help Emily and her family with spring cleaning. Emily's mom and dad
didn’t like some of Clifford's methods. Clifford did his part in spring
cleaning by helping with Earth Day projects. He helped recycle, clean rugs,
plant a garden, and paint some benches.Discuss the
concept of working together, also called teamwork! Share illustrations from Clifford's
Spring Clean-Up by Norman Bridwell. Ask children to guess, or predict, what
they think will happen when Clifford decides to help his friends spring clean.
Read the story. Discuss the things that Emily Elizabeth's family did to clean
their home and yard. What happened when Clifford pitched in to help? Help
children identify that it was Clifford's help that turned the vacant lot into a
beautiful garden. Talk to children about ways people spring clean: washing
windows, sweeping, dusting, raking leaves, clearing vegetation, taking out
trash, pruning plants, tilling garden soil, etc.
Spring Cleaning
Cleaning the windows!
Sweeping the floors!
