Welcome back everyone!!
I hope everyone had a great break. I personally had an amazing time and actually got some much needed rest. April is one of my favorite teaching months because I love everything poetry. This month all elementary students and I will be dissecting and composing our own poetry. I will also be connecting with Middle and High School classes to see what they have been working on. Students are excited to share their creations with all of you. We will be having a poetry reading on Tuesday, April 25th in Shatto. Below is a favorite poem of mine and it reminds us to do the work. No matter how small everyone's contributions matter. Do you guys have a favorite poem. Share it with me in the comments. Happy writing.
Work
Let me but do my work from day to day,
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In roaring market-place or tranquil room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray,
"This is my work; my blessing, not my doom;
"Of all who live, I am the one by whom
"This work can best be done in the right way."
Then shall I see it not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the labouring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest,
Because I know for me my work is best.
- Henry Van Dyke
