Using “Sing a Song of Seasons” Within the Abiding Wild Curriculum

There’s something deeply grounding about opening a book of poetry and letting the words settle into your day like a soft hush. Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Each Day of the Year is one of those rare books that slows you down, draws your gaze toward beauty, and reminds you and your children to savor the present moment. In the Abiding Wild curriculum, we’ve intentionally woven this poetry collection into our rhythm, not just as a lovely extra, but as a way to cultivate wonder, presence, and a relationship with the natural world.
