Story about Spring:

In spring, the sun rises higher and shines brighter, the days become longer.
Snow is melting everywhere, stormy, sonorous streams are running.
The ice on rivers, ponds and lakes becomes covered with cracks, becomes loose, darkens and melts, and ice drift begins. Ice floes float along the river, break with a crash, and melt water floods the meadows and lowlands. The flood begins.
Icicles hang from the roofs; at noon, when the sun gets hotter, the icicles begin to melt, and spring drops ring.
Tree sap, warmed by the spring sun, rises from the roots to the swelling buds. The willow buds have fluffed up, and although there are no leaves yet, the whole tree seems to be shrouded in a delicate yellow-green cloud. Earrings on alder and hazel become lighter and fluffy. In the forests, fields and meadows, spring flowers open: coltsfoot, snowdrop, lungwort.
Insects wake up after a long winter. Migratory birds are returning to their homeland from warm regions. The rooks arrive first, then the starlings, wagtails, and larks.
The winter hibernation of animals is ending. Adult animals molt, winter fur is replaced with summer fur, and squirrels and hare change the color of their coats.
A mother bear with her cubs comes out of the den. A badger comes out of a hole. The she-wolf gives birth to cubs.
In spring people have a lot of work. In the field, the soil is prepared for crops and rye, barley, and millet are sown. Early crops are sown in gardens: dill, parsley, carrots, onions.
The gardens are covered with white and pink lace capes - apple trees, cherries, and plums are blooming.

Poems about Spring

No wonder winter is angry,
Its time has passed -
Spring is knocking on the window
And he drives him out of the yard.
And everything started to fuss,
Everything forces Winter to get out -
And larks in the sky
The ringing bell has already been raised.
Winter is still busy
And he grumbles about Spring.
She laughs in her eyes
And it just makes more noise... .
The evil witch went crazy
And, grab the snow,
She let me in, running away,
To a beautiful child...
Spring and grief are not enough:
Washed in the snow
And only became blusher
Against the enemy.
(F. Tyutchev)

***
Drops
At noon I listen to the drops,
She murmurs like a bird's trill.
The crystal bell rings,
Running from the roof over the porch.
Drops gurgle, ring, sing,
It breaks snow and ice.
She doesn’t care about a big snowdrift,
She runs like a living stream.
I will clear the way for the stream,
So that he can look at the world.

***
in spring
Spring has a lot of work,
The rays help her:
They drive together on the roads
Talking streams,
They melt the snow, break the ice,
They warm everything around.
From under the pine needles and blades of grass
The first sleepy beetle crawled out.
Flowers on the thawed patch
The golden ones have blossomed
The buds are full and swollen
Bumblebees fly from the nest.
Spring has a lot of worries,
But things are looking up:
The field became emerald
And the gardens are in bloom.

***
Spring
Admire it spring is coming,
The cranes are flying in a caravan,
The day is drowning in bright gold,
And the streams in the ravines are noisy.
Soon you will have guests,
Look how many nests they will build!
What sounds, what songs will flow
Day after day from dawn to dawn.
(I. S. Nikitin)

***
Spring song
The snow is no longer the same -
He darkened in the field.
The ice on the lakes is cracked,
It's like they split it.
The clouds are moving faster
The sky became higher.
The sparrow chirped
Have fun on the roof.
It's getting darker every day
Stitches and paths
And on the willows with silver
The earrings glow.
(S. Marshak)

***
Spring
Spring is coming to us,
With quick steps,
And the snowdrifts are melting
Under her feet.
Black thawed patches
Visible in the fields.
That's right, very warm
Spring has legs.

About Spring
They told us about spring
Songs from the birdhouse
And the earrings are yellow
On hazel branches.
They told us about spring
Sparrows are pugnacious,
Hairy willows,
The streams are noisy.
Butterfly hives
In a forest thawed area,
Blue snowdrops
And damp felt boots.
(N. Naydenova)

With the arrival of spring in kindergartens and schools, the time comes when children listen to stories from teachers on the topic “Spring” and observe changes in nature outside. It is best to present a story about spring to children by going to the park or going to nature in the countryside, where spring appears in all its glory. Unfortunately, in the spring the city is not very cozy, and it is difficult for children to understand the full significance

• melting snow
• return of migratory birds,
• the appearance of the first leaves on the trees,
• the first snowdrops.

Therefore, it is better if a teacher or parent conducts his story on the topic “Spring has come” in a forest or forest plantation. All great teachers did this.

What to tell children about with the onset of spring?

For preschoolers, such a story about spring can be quite simple and short. For children who go to grades 2-3, you can create a more extensive and detailed story on the theme “Spring has come.”
Stories can be used as a basis famous writers:

1. Chekhov,
2. Prishvina,
3. Ushinsky and others.

What should children know?

What should children in grades 2-3 know about spring? Why is the story about spring so important for them?

What happens in nature?

In spring, the days become much longer.
The sun heats up more, the snow begins to melt, and the first thawed patches appear on the ground. On the river you can see how the ice cracks, individual ice floes float with a crashing sound, sometimes rivers overflow and cover the banks with water. A story about spring will help children imagine a holistic picture of the arrival of this time of year.
The sky takes on a blue tint and becomes warmer. The snow melts most lately in those places where the sun does not shine: in ravines, dense thickets, in the forest. As the snow melts, the first grass breaks through the ground, followed by snowdrops and violets, which large quantities can be found in the forest, then dandelions show their yellow caps. Linden and birch begin to bloom, followed by linden, alder, oak, and maple. If you cut the bark of a birch tree in the forest at this time, bitter sap will flow out of it. By May, the fragrant lily of the valley blooms, and the trees include apricot, cherry, apple, and pear. A story about spring will allow children to pay more attention to such changes.

Which birds arrive first?

The first birds to arrive are the rooks: they herald the arrival of spring. Beautiful pictures and posters about birds you can look at.
They fly after the rooks:

1. larks,
2. blackbirds,
3. cuckoos,
4. wild pigeons,
5. cranes.

We got up early today.
We can't sleep today!
They say the starlings are back!
They say spring has come!

Gaida Lagzdyn. March

Spring inspired many talented people. Poets sang of its beauty in words, artists tried to capture the riot of its colors with a brush, and musicians tried to convey its gentle sound more than once. "Kultura.RF" remembers Russian composers who dedicated their works to spring.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky, “Seasons. Spring"

Konstantin Yuon. March sun. 1915. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

Spring, performed by the outstanding Russian composer, is revealed in three of the twelve paintings of the piano cycle “The Seasons”.

The idea of ​​creating musical seasons was not new. Long before Pyotr Tchaikovsky, similar sketches were created by the Italian maestro Antonio Vivaldi and the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. But if European masters created a seasonal picture of nature, Tchaikovsky devoted a separate theme to each month.

Touching musical sketches were not initially a spontaneous manifestation of Tchaikovsky’s love for nature. The idea of ​​the cycle belonged to Nikolai Bernard, editor of the Nouvellist magazine. It was he who ordered it from the composer for the collection in which musical works were accompanied by poems - including those by Apollo Maykov and Afanasy Fet. Spring months were represented by the paintings “March. Song of the Lark", "April. Snowdrop" and "May. White Nights".

Tchaikovsky's Spring turned out to be lyrical and at the same time bright in sound. Exactly as the author once wrote about her in a letter to Nadezhda von Meck: “I love our winter, long and persistent. You can't wait for Lent to arrive, and with it the first signs of spring. But what a magic our spring is with its suddenness, its luxurious power!”.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, "The Snow Maiden"

Isaac Levitan. March. 1895. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

The plot of a spring fairy tale, familiar to many from childhood, took on a musical form thanks to an interesting coincidence of circumstances. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov became acquainted with the fairy tale by Alexander Ostrovsky in 1874, but it made a “strange” impression on the composer.

Only five years later, as the author himself recalled in his memoirs “Chronicles to my musical life", he "gave his sight to her amazing beauty." Having received Ostrovsky's permission to use the plot of his play, the composer wrote his famous opera in three summer months.

In 1882, the opera “The Snow Maiden” in four acts premiered on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater. Ostrovsky highly appreciated the work of Rimsky-Korsakov, noting that he could never imagine “a more suitable and vividly expressing all the poetry of the pagan cult” music for his composition. The images of the young daughter Frost and Spring, the shepherd Lelya and Tsar Berendey turned out to be so vivid that the composer himself called “The Snow Maiden” “his best work.”

To understand how Rimsky-Korsakov saw spring, it is worth listening to the beginning of the Prologue and the Fourth Act of his opera.

Sergei Rachmaninov, “Spring Waters”

Arkhip Kuindzhi. Early spring. 1890–1895. Kharkov Art Museum.

The snow is still white in the fields,
And water
already in the spring they make noise -
They're running
and wake up the sleepy breg,
They're running
and they shine and say...
They
they say all the time:
"Spring
spring is coming!
We are young
messengers of spring,
She
sent us ahead!

Fedor Tyutchev

It was these lines by Fyodor Tyutchev that formed the basis of the romance of the same name by Sergei Rachmaninov “Spring Waters”. Written in 1896, the romance completed the early period of the composer’s work, still filled with romantic traditions and lightness of content.

The rapid and seething sound of Rachmaninov's spring corresponded to the mood of the era: to end of the 19th century century, after the dominance of critical realism and censorship in the second half of the century, society awakened, the revolutionary movement grew in it, and in public consciousness there was anxiety associated with the imminent entry into a new era.

Alexander Glazunov, “Seasons: Spring”

Boris Kustodiev. Spring. 1921. Art Gallery of the Generations Foundation. Khanty-Mansiysk.

In February 1900, the allegorical ballet “The Seasons” premiered on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater, in which the eternal story of Nature’s life unfolded - from awakening after a long winter sleep to fading into an autumn waltz of leaves and snow.

The musical accompaniment of Ivan Vsevolozhsky's idea was the composition of Alexander Glazunov, who at that time was a famous and authoritative musician. Together with his teacher Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, he restored and completed Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor, made his debut at the World Exhibition in Paris and wrote music for the ballet Raymonda.

Glazunov created the plot of “The Seasons” based on his own symphonic painting “Spring,” which he wrote nine years earlier. In it, spring turned to the wind Zephyr for help in order to drive away winter and surround everything around with love and warmth.

Symphonic painting “Spring”

Igor Stravinsky, "The Rite of Spring"

Nicholas Roerich. Set design for the ballet “The Rite of Spring”. 1910. Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York, USA

Another "spring" ballet belongs to another student of Rimsky-Korsakov - Igor Stravinsky. As the composer wrote in his memoirs, “Chronicle of My Life,” one day, quite unexpectedly, a picture of pagan rituals and a girl who sacrificed her beauty and life in the name of awakening the sacred spring arose in his imagination.

He shared his idea with the stage designer Nicholas Roerich, who was equally passionate Slavic traditions, and entrepreneur Sergei Diaghilev.

It was within the framework of Diaghilev's Russian seasons that the ballet premiered in Paris in May 1913. The public did not accept the pagan dances and condemned the “barbaric music.” The production failed.

The composer later described the main idea of ​​the ballet in the article “What I wanted to express in The Rite of Spring”: “The Bright Resurrection of nature, which is reborn to new life, a complete resurrection, a spontaneous resurrection of the conception of the universal”. And this unbridledness is truly felt in the magical expression of Stravinsky’s music, full of pristine human feelings and natural rhythms.

100 years later, in the same theater on the Champs-Elysees where The Rite of Spring was booed, the troupe and orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater performed this opera - this time to a full house.

Dmitry Kabalevsky, “Spring”

Igor Grabar. March snow. 1904. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

In the work of Dmitry Kabalevsky, a classic of the Soviet music school, public figure and teacher, spring motifs were encountered more than once. For example, spring notes sound throughout the entire operetta “Spring is Singing,” staged for the first time in November 1957 on the stage of the Moscow Operetta Theater. The famously twisted plot of the essay in three acts was dedicated to the Soviet spring, the symbol of which was October Revolution. The main character’s aria “Spring Again” summed up the composer’s main idea: happiness is earned only through struggle.

Three years later, Dmitry Kabalevsky dedicated another work to this time of year - the symphonic poem “Spring”, which is centered around the sounds of awakening nature.

Symphonic poem "Spring", op. 65 (1960)

Georgy Sviridov, “Spring Cantata”

Vasily Baksheev. Blue spring. 1930. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow

The work of Georgy Sviridov is one of the main symbols of the Soviet musical era. His suite “Time Forward” and illustrations for Pushkin’s “The Snowstorm” have long become classics of world culture.

The composer turned to the theme of spring in 1972: he composed “Spring Cantata,” inspired by Nikolai Nekrasov’s poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'.” This work was a kind of reflection on the choice of the spiritual path of Russia, but Sviridov did not deprive him of Nekrasov’s inherent poetic admiration for the beauty of Russian nature. For example, the composer preserved the following lines in “Cantata”:

Spring has already begun
The birch tree was blooming,
How we went home...
Okay, light
In the world of God!
Okay, easy
Clear in my heart.

Nikolay Nekrasov

The instrumental part of the cantata “Bells and Horns” has a special mood:

Spring came. Warm days have arrived. nature woke up from hibernation. The buds on the trees are swelling, young grass is breaking through, and the first flowers are blooming. The birds began to sing more cheerfully, their songs became affectionate, warming and giving us a good mood.

March may still be cold, but spring still fights hard against winter. Make way for spring! It's spring!

Tell your children about spring

Go out for walks with your child more often, make different discoveries in the spring. Let the child fall in love with spring, feel the spring breeze, the smell of herbs and flowers, and admire the first sticky leaves.

In spring, changes occur in nature. Tell the children about this. Please note that the sun has already risen higher, is shining dazzlingly, and the day is lengthening. Look at the sky. Ask your child what the sky was like in winter and what it is like now. The sky was gray in winter, but now it is blue. You can see clouds in the sky, which are sometimes driven by the wind. Consider the clouds. Find similarities with animals with your child: what the clouds look like. This is a very exciting activity.

If you still have snow, watch how it melts and small streams run. Listen with your baby to how he murmurs. Look where the stream runs? Children love to play near streams: they float paper boats, nut shells, and tree bark. It's very fun and interesting!

See how the buds swell on the trees. We cut a branch of cherry and lilac and watched the buds open. Admire the first snowdrops with your children. You can tell them the legend about Spring and the snowdrop. .)

Spring stories. L. Pestin

STARLING

The air is still and cool. Light frost. There are grains of ice on last year's leaf, and thin ice glistens in the ruts. It seems that spring has stopped at the threshold, and winter does not want to go away - it would be nice to walk across the earth with blizzards as a farewell!

I'm walking through the grove. Quiet. Suddenly a starling flew from a tree straight onto the road. He shook himself, ruffled his feathers, and quickly jumped up and down on the frost-bound ground, as if he wanted to say:

Here we come!

FIRST

He was born in the morning. He parted last year's leaves, looked out and froze, surprised: there was snow all around.

It’s cold here,” the willow said to the snowdrop. “I should sit in the ground, it’s warmer there.” Upstart!

And the snowdrop spread its petals and stretched upward. He was the first. He went on reconnaissance.

SNOWDrops,

In the forest, in the copses and groves, snow is still hidden here and there. Snowdrops appeared in the thawed areas. And some broke through a thin layer of snow, looked out, turned blue: there was no time, life goes on.

CREEK

The stream was born in the forest. He broke out into a spacious meadow and, joyfully. Murmuring like spring, he ran to the river. Young grass began to turn green around her. Every day it became thicker. Then the dandelions sparkled in it with golden splashes.

The waters have receded. The stream has dried up. But in the place where he once fled, life continued. Flowers bloomed and grass grew.

FOR ALL

There are sunny spring bunnies on the windowsill. The girl catches them with her hand.

Vasya, why is the sun running away? - she asks her brother.

Because the sun is for everyone,” the boy answers.

FRIENDS

There are three oak trees in the grove through which I walk: two of them support the third. He was broken by the wind and fell onto the branches of neighboring oak trees, and remained standing, leaning on them. I look at the oak trees and think: “This happens to people too.”

DEW

The spring sun is shining and smiling. And as if responding to a smile, everything around sparkles. Trees drop diamond drops.

This is dew, grandson.

No, grandpa, it’s the trees that are crying. From happiness. “It’s spring,” says the grandson, sitting down next to his grandfather.

Watch the videos and listen to the sounds of nature in spring. They are very calming.

Read works about spring to children, enjoy the beauty of nature with them, love and respect your loved ones. I wish you health and spring mood!

Read, leave your comments, share your experience.

Spring is coming! The days have become longer, the sun is back at home, and the birds will soon be singing. I always look forward to spring with great anticipation. My son and I are waiting for it, so at the end of February we begin to read “spring books”. We will talk about them.

I really love “seasonal” books. I have a shelf of autumn books, winter books, a shelf of spring books. I think it's great to tell your child about the seasons, not only by observing changes in nature, but also by reading certain literature. So, a short review of “spring literature”.

I also really love books that have a small plot, where the main characters perform some “seasonal” actions. For example, the absolutely wonderful book “The Spring of Bruno the Bear” by Ingves. Main character- Bruno the bear and his dog Lolla, they live in a house near the forest. In the spring they have a lot to do: they need to have time to plant seedlings, hang a birdhouse, go for a walk in the forest, and at the same time have a picnic. There are very delicate transparent drawings with many details that are not visible at first glance. Each time you read the book, it opens up from a new side.

The book is suitable for children from 2 to 4-5 years old.

Another similar book for children aged 2 to 4 years is “ Castor's vegetable garden» Clinting. The book is not specific to spring, but it makes more sense to plant beans in the spring than in the fall. Therefore, I classify it as a “spring” book. After this book it is also very good to grow something with your baby. Plant beans at a minimum. My son loves this book very much.

If we already touched on the topic of planting, then without a book « definitely can't get by. This book is for older children - from 3 to 5 years old. The name speaks for itself. The book tells in great detail about vegetables: what they are like, how they grow, what animals gardeners encounter, what seasonal work must be done in the garden. A very useful book. It will especially appeal to children who are somehow familiar with gardening and see vegetables not only on the store counter. And it will be very educational for city children.

Another story book is “The Green Book of Spring” by Kusharière. Only here we talk about one day in the life of a boy. Many questions are considered, ranging from how we dress in spring to the question of why the days are getting longer.

Now let's move on to fairy tales. Fairy tales about spring also exist. This, for example, is the well-known fairy tale “The Fox and the Hare” and "Snow Maiden". The first is for ages up to 3.5 years, the second – not earlier than 4.

M. Aromshtam writes very interesting fairy tales. I like her autumn tales (for example, “The Acorn”), but the spring ones are also very good. They are just right for 3-4 years old.

If the soul asks for something like that, then “Children of Mother Earth” by von Olfers is just it. This book is from the beginning of the 20th century, that is, it is more than 100 years old. This is a magical story about transformations in nature. Please note that many people may find the pictures in the book blurry.

Now let's move on to poetry.
The first book that I would like to draw your attention to is “Seasons. Poems by Russian poets about nature ». It contains simply wonderful drawings by Kanivets V. The poems are divided by season, the most famous (and unknown) poems are in it. The book will also be useful at school.
