Things
-Eloise Greenfield
Went to the corner
Walked in the store
Bought me some candy
Ain't got it no more
Ain't got it no more
Went to the beach
Played on the shore
Built me a sandhouse
Ain't got it no more
Ain't got it no more
Went to the kitchen
Lay down on the floor
Made me a poem
Still got it
Still got it
Today in my 8am (booo early) we had a wonderful lesson on incorperating poetry into the classroom. I love poetry, but don't spend alot of time reading it...after this lesson, I think I'm ready for a trip to borders to buy a couple of poetry books. I was so moved by this lesson and that class keeps reinspiring my passion for teaching. This class really came at the right time.
The poem about by Eloise Greenfield really speaks so much about the joys of writing and even just expressing yourself; it's really meaningful to me and fits my life style/ideals really well. It just felt right. :)
I know that I am meant to inspire others, and I think my love for literature is something that this world needs right now.
I have another poem that I want to share, but I've gotta find a copy of it first. The other poem made me cry in class, and it's called "The Book that made Danny Cry." It's written by Kalli Dakos and gave me chills and put tears in my eyes. Just gorgeous, and what teaching is all about.
I figured I wanted to blog tonight, but not about Obama. That'll come tomorrow, it seems like he's all I'm writing around. Plus I've got lots of pictures to upload of Meagan, Manny and myself. :)

I think you are the most lovely person I have ever met. The way you are able to see the beauty in everything is so amazing to me. I'm sorry I wasn't able to find that book. There has to be a children's torrent somewhere lol.
