Day in a Haiku

Kevin at Kevin's Meandering Mind challenges us to write a haiku about a day/week. After our rainy week/spring, here is my haiku.

Rain lashes, trees bend,
Lightning flashes through the air
Summer thunderstorm

Day in a Sentence

On this three day weekend celebrating Casimir Pulaski, I am appreciating an extra day for catching up.

Check out this week's Day in a Sentence challenge at Kevin's Meandering Mind .

BIG dinosaur project!

Day in a Sentence

Patriotic feelings swell in the midst of Lincoln's 200th Birthday Celebration.

My picture shows Lincoln in Post-It Notes created by Chris Killham and displayed in the windows on the bridge that spans Jefferson Street.

All the excitement was contagious living in Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Illinois. I even was rerouted through the mall parking lot when the Presidential motorcade (Obama, not Lincoln) went by. That certainly doesn't happen very often.

Here is President Lincoln dressed for his birthday at Lincoln Library. (The city library where I checked out an armload of dinosaur books for an upcoming project, not the Presidential Library.)


And one more of Lincoln's home decorated for the celebration. It is only a block from Lincoln Library.

Day in a Sentence on Stixy

This week Kevin has challenged us to add our Day/Week in a Sentence contribution to Stixy. This is a fun site that works like a bulletin board. Check it out here .

My contribution this week: A math challenge keeps almost all my second graders engaged!

I am wondering if this could be a good place for some staff collaboration. For example, we are currently challenged to integrate productive talk experiences into our daily instruction. Could Stixy be a good place to share/celebrate ideas? Unfortunately, it is currently blocked by the district. I am wondering why.
