“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” Shel Silverstein

What a busy week we've had! As we lead up to the poetry jam next week the students have been hard at work preparing their poems to recite and putting the final touches on poems that they have written that will be on display.

It was nice to be able to take a break from poetry practice as we listened to writing pieces by fifth and sixth graders who came over from WCS for the afternoon. The students were captivated by the "big kids" and were inspired by their beautifully written fairy tales.

In math it was "Pay Day" on the farm and the students used their earnings to purchase chickens and chicken coops. I am so impressed with the way that they have been working together as cooperative groups to make decisions about purchasing land, animals and equipment.

Enjoy the slideshow from the past week!
