Poem of the week

A Million Valentines

I’ll cut a valentine

just for you.

I’ll cut out one,

I’ll cut out two,

I’ll cut out three,

I’ll cut out four,

I’ll cut out five__

Or maybe more.

I’ll cut a hundred,

A thousand too.

I’ll cut a million

Just for you.

A million million

Are too few

To say how much

I love you!

_________ Robert Heidbreder

Poem of the week

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

Poem of the week

Perhaps

All day long the penguins play

in the cold Antarctic sea-

diving

splashing

leaping

dashing

in slippery, flippery glee.

While other birds chase blue-sky dreams

the sea to penguins sings-

perhaps they aren’t birds at all

but fish with feet and wings.

————– Maxwell Higgins

What was happening?

This week our focus was the letter “O”. “O” is for “owl” which we did for our craft. We traced, colored, & sang songs that represented the letter “O”. For reading comprehension, we started “Sneezy The Snowman” book by Maureen Wright and Stephen Gilpin. We tried our best to answer, “What book did we read?” and ” Who is the character in the story?”. From the Core learning series, we started our core word “Go”. Our book for this week from this series is “Go! Go! Go!”. We practiced counting numbers 1-10 for math comprehension. On Monday, we had a half day. On Thursday, we had a snow day, while on Friday, we had so much fun visiting Ann Arbor hands-on museum. Also, we celebrated one of our friends’ birthday. Happy Birthday, Youssef 🙂

Please, check my blog for today’s field trip to the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum.
