Poetry

Hey, today in  school we were studying poetry.  I remember a poem. Here it is:

   I Can’t Write a Poem

 

Forget it.
You must be kidding.
I’m still half asleep.
My eyes keep closing.
My brain isn’t working.
I don’t have a pencil.
I don’t have any paper.
My desk is wobbly.
I don’t know what to write about.
And besides, I don’t even know how to write a poem.
I’ve got a headache. I need to see the nurse.
Time’s up? Uh oh!
All I have is this dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot.
Would you like to see another one?

– Bruce Lansky

     My Jog-A-Thon was so much fun! I ran 13 laps. After that my class had to make a game board of the movie Holes. It was so fun, then we had to go to lunch. After lunch we had an ice cream sundae. It was good. Then we practiced our play, we are doing, The Wizard Of Oz.

Colourful Easter Eggs

We dyed eggs for Easter!  First we poked a hole into each end of the egg.  Blow out the yolk and albumen. We mixed food colouring, vinegar, and a small amount of water into a container.  Place the eggs into the container and let them sit for awhile.  The longer the eggs “sit” in the dye, the deeper the colour.  When they reach the colour you like, remove them from the dye and let dry.  Place into a bowl !

This is a fun family activity!
