I Am Poetry

I am poetry

I capture the reluctant pen

And become the writer's only friend

On the lonely road of time.

I am poetry

I am the symmetry of leaf

Of insect

Of a bird's outstretched wings.

I am confusion of root and gnarled branch.

I am the roar of the ocean

And the remorcefull cry of the seagulls as they glide by.

I manifest in the minds of great writers

And make light in one and many hearts.

- Gabby W.

Homework for Mrs. Nelson's Class

Thursday, May 23

Howdy!!

ELA: Looks as though many of you studied for the vocabulary test today - it paid off! Congratulations!!

1.) Green Hotdog fold compare and contrast sheet: Complete the organizer for the differences between the slaves headed north to freedom (Underground Railroad experience) and Japanese citizens leaving Korea. You MUST have a minimum of 5 differences in each column.

2.) Your Bamboo Grove character Brain Frame sequence of events should have been completely updated today to include the most recent information you have about your character. If you were unable to record the most recent information, get it completed TONIGHT. In addition, you were asked to update your character's character trait pkt. You should have used a 2nd organizer to record any/all changes in your character's personality. Hideyo is undergoing changes as well as Yoko, Ko, and Mother and so each character should have a new character sheet filled out.

Social Studies: Question to ponder: WHY do you think China is such a powerful economic force in the world today?
