Coffeehouse!

What a busy week!  The Poetry Coffeehouse was a great success.  The children were superb!  The artwork was beautiful!  Below are some photos from our day.  I also am sharing my poem.  Have a fabulous weekend!











Thanks again to Mrs. I for these photos!  Thank you to everyone who participated at the open mic!










Don’t Blink

Don’t blink, or you might miss

          The love of learning every day
          The kindness shown
          The friendships made
          The independence growing
          That moment they can do it ~ without your help (or mine)

Don’t blink, you might not notice~

          They want a little space, but still need you
          They need to try alone and even need to fall sometimes
          They need to struggle to relish in their success.


While we weren’t looking  ~

          They grew, and their pants became too short
          They took responsibility on their own
          They included each other
          They were kind

While we weren’t looking ~ fourth grade is over...

In just one blink,
          180 days.
