Ah, Valentine's Day. I have made some Valentines, but I have yet to put them in the mail. I was waiting to get the stamps, and by the time I found a post office that had Love stamps, it was yesterday. Since my Valentines will not get there by today, I've moved this to a week-end project, where I will have some time to write a note in them.
After we read a few more love poems, my students in today's classes will write a love poem for their Daily Writing grade. It can be about love or a poem to a beloved or a poem about something that they love. It must have 6 lines. I gave them stipulations about what 4 of the lines must contain: a color that can be described two ways, an element of nature, a food, and an animal. I took a quick glance at the poems my Mon/Wed students wrote, and I was impressed.
I would love to bring all of my students heart shaped cookies, but alas, this week was not the week for that. Plus, I end up eating more than I intend when I bake enough cookies for all of my students--or whenever I bake cookies.
Today's writing must be brief. It's time to get ready to go down the mountain and teach. Fridays feel like a zip of a day--hurrah!
