We try Cinquain ... we prepare to spend a day at a one room school and we try our hand at poetry to place with our poppy wreaths on the wall outside our classroom door. The names we are using are the ones for the children we will portray during our visit. As we read Flander's Field in class one child remarked, "this is really a sad poem." It is.

How perceptive each child is.
My Great uncle was killed 2:10 pm oct 13 1915 at the battle of Loos,
Same day as Kipplings son in the same battle, due to lack of a smoke screen...
You surely have taught them well Molly. They express the feelings of Veterans day so very well. You all did wonderful work!;-) Thank you for sharing with us.
Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
