The Law

Every year schools have to update a document called the Public Law 221 Plan. A new plan is written every 3 years, but each year the document has to be revised. Today I read over our PL221 with BossLady and I think we're getting close to submitting it. After our work together I found her a good poem for PiYP Day called "If I Were the Principal." Now I'm sitting next to the NYT and yes, I'm going to start the reading ritual. Sadly, Husbandman is in Italy, so he won't be able to complete the puzzle with me. Sorry Husbandman. Too bad, so sad. You're just going to have to deal with it. Just be in Italy, why don't you?

Well, I heart this photo very much.

I haven't picked a PiYP poem yet. I also am giving a test tomorrow, so I won't be able to publicize PiPY day very much until Thursday.

I mean Wednesday. Because Thursday is PiPY day.

Here's one of my favorite pocket poems:
Things

Went to the corner
Walked in the store
Bought me some candy
Ain’t got it no more
Ain’t got it no more

Went to the beach
Played on the shore
Built me a sandhouse
Ain’t got it no more
Ain’t got it no more

Went to the kitchen
Lay down on the floor
Made me a poem
Still got it
Still got it

Here's another:

the drum

daddy says the world
is a drum tight
and hard
and i told him
i’m gonna beat out
my own rhythm

You've got plenty of time, KC. One year I just basically presented the kiddos with poem books on PiyP day and they found their faves and wrote them down. Then at lunch, I walked around the cafeteria asking kids to read their poems at their tables. V. fun.

D, love both of these! a LOT!

Well, this is fascinating. I just discovered one word poems. (You'all probably know them already.) If you Google "one word poems" you'll get quite a few examples, discussions, etc. I particularly like these two:
Balance
Motherless

What would yours be?

My one word poem:
Stress

It rhymes.
