The blooming hello
I saw a tulip start to peek,
And whispered, “Hi!”—not loud, just meek.
It made me think, “What if today,
I smiled at friends along the way?”
Reflection question for SEL
How can a simple smile or hello change someone’s day?
A baby chick was small and shy,
But helped a friend whose wings were dry.
“You’re kind,” said Duck, “and brave, no doubt!”
Kindness is what spring’s about!
Reflection question for SEL
Why was the chick brave? Can you think of a time you helped someone?
Plant kind words like daisy seeds,
Water them with gentle deeds.
Soon you’ll see, in every place—
A blooming smile, a warmer space.
Reflection question for SEL
What kind words can you plant today? How can you water them with actions?
The sky grew dark, the rain came fast,
But Bunny helped a Duck run past.
He shared his leaf, they laughed and splashed—
And kindness in the puddles splashed!
Reflection question for SEL
Have you ever helped someone during a tough moment? How did it feel?
A ladybug fell in the breeze,
She cried, “Oh no, I bumped my knees!”
A beetle stopped and softly said,
“I’ll walk you home, let’s go ahead.”
Reflection question for SEL
Why do you think the beetle chose to help the ladybug?
Sam had six red berries sweet,
And shared with Mia down the street.
She smiled so big her hat flew high—
Kindness is sweeter than any pie!
Reflection question for SEL
What does sharing something special feel like?
A windy day made hats take flight,
But Max helped Jane with all his might.
He chased hers down without a fuss—
A springtime hero, kind and just.
Reflection question for SEL
Have you ever helped someone without being asked? What happened?
A bee buzzed past and shared some cheer,
“Be kind to all that’s blooming near!”
He danced on daisies, full of glee—
Kindness works in you and me.
Reflection question for SEL
What’s one way you can be like the bee and spread cheer today?
At springtime lunch beneath a tree,
Ella brought snacks for two, not three.
But when she saw that Tim had none—
She shared her cake and made it fun!
Reflection question for SEL
What would you have done if you were Ella? Why is it kind to share?
