Wading in the first day.
Wee mistake on the airline reservation.
We arrived at 10:00PM on the night before our first 7:45AM
workshop. What part of “one day lost in
transit” we failed to comprehend is a mystery.
Luckily due to the kindness and efficiency of librarian Melissa Chifokoyo and welcoming faculty and students,
we came in for a gentle and genial landing.
The second grade
came first. Their simile poems were a
delight and immediately transformed into a bulletin board by their teacher, Danielle Simpson.
Resident peacocks on
patrol.
Talking poetry at all grade levels brings us together as learners and humans.
No poem is ever finished until it is shared.
The kindergarten had fun illustrating
poetry with hand motions. Teacher Jillian EyreWalker asked that we write about their read aloud, Have you Filled a Bucket Today. We filled our buckets with words and hand
motions.
Thanks to Melissa
and to Principal Kari Boazman for making our visit a learning experience for
all. Especially me!
