 Here's our poem of the week...focusing on trees

The Oak is called the King of trees

the Aspen quivers in the breeze.

The Poplar grows up straight and tall,

the Peach tree spreads along the wall.

The Sycamore gives pleasant shade,

the Willow droops in watery glade.

The Fir gives useful timber,

the Beech amid the forest lives.

~ Sara Coleridge

Aug. 27, 2009 - Poetry Day
Posted in Poetry

I got the idea of a poetry day from Melissa at In the Sparrow's Nest......thanks again, Melissa!

We chose this poem to go along with our sunflower/wildflower week:

One lonely sunflower growing in the sun
Wants to play and have some fun
Then whoosh went the wind
And scattered all the seeds
And now there’s lots of sunflowers
Playing in the breeze.
 
~ Anonymous

We talked about each line and then the kids copied it and drew a picture.

"Imagination does not stir at the suggestion of the feeble, much diluted stuff that is too often put into children’s hands." ~ Charlotte Mason
