Things have been busy. And crazy. This quarter is full of giant projects, big readings and not enough hours in the day.
Still loving it though.
Today we had a Professional Development from an "Artist In Residence." Every once in a while, IslandWood brings someone to campus to share their gift with the kids and help the kids discover a gift of their own. This week, we have a poet staying on campus. She shared some really great activities to do with the kids to help them express themselves and make poetry less of a scary thing. We all wrote some at the session and here is one of mine:
I am like a duck.
My laugh can be loud and surprising.
I am not extremely graceful on my feet.
I depend on my friends and family to help me
dive deeper to reach my goal but
I am not afraid to swim off and explore on my own
every once in a while.
I like to travel in groups
each one taking their turn to lead
and then to be led.
I can be mighty if I want to be.
