Saturday Celebrations in May
Each week on Saturday
bloggers celebrate at Ruth Ayres Writes.
Won't you join us?
I love Saturday celebrations!
This week I celebrate my students and their creativity and enthusiasm. On the one hand, we are in the middle of testing season...but we counter that with our poetry. We are writing poetry and sharing it with each other.
This week we began rehearsing for our PoetPalooza in June! I love watching them work in groups and find ways to entertain each other. The enthusiasm is infectious!
Speaking of poetry, I celebrate the final day of TeacherPoets with Chris Lehman. I revised my poem and I'm happy with the final poem. Please check it out here.
Wishing you a great week filled with celebrations!
It is wonderful that testing season can be countered by the beauty of words! Very worth celebrating!
