A1  no class -- Charity Basketball Games
Have a very Merry Christmas!

Don't forget to place  your gift poem on the wiki on your poem page. 

Remind me when we get back from Christmas holiday to show you the slide show of our trip to give the books to our first graders at Legacy.

Here's a link to a fun, online, interactive (meaning you can shake it) snow globe -- that you can't get to at school, but you may be able to from home.  http://www.crazy-jokes.com/arcade-games/snow.shtml
Watch what's happening in the globe, too.  It's funny, though rather violent at times. 


Have a very Merry Christmas!

Picture Prompt -- Magritte La Voix. . .

2. More Poetry from The Hormone Jungle
3. Writing an "I Am" Poem

Example of an I Am From Poem:

I am from
Hamburger pie and whole wheat bread
Grandma's ladybug tree
Pumpkin carving contests and
The high school turkey toss.

I am from
Spiders and "The Hook" in the cellar
Dark Valley and Pleasant Creek
Gophers we trap for two bits each and
My cousin Gary who burps in my ear.

I am
Apple juice from the gas station at Schofield
Elk jerky from Springfield Meats
Buttery popcorn on rainy Saturdays and
Long dirt roads that take me home.

by Bubba Boyd

Pattern:
