#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

I'm a firm believer in this, and the earlier in life we accept this, the happier we would be.

Blessings to you all x

It's finally snowing instead of raining!

I love this poem because it‘s centered around nature and all the things that a younger reader would pay attention to in the summer!! This is a good poem for roughly 1st grade.

If you are wondering about me and where I could be on a day that drips hot and thick like honey walk down the river and around the bend to flat rocks, warm and waiting and there I will be and you will find me swimming

I really liked this book and would implement it in my classroom as a way to introduce poetry. It can be very interactive especially in young readers and young grades. I would also do this according to the dates that are in the book and coordinate fun activities to do with them. It is a great way to talk to students about the different structures of poems.

When Green Becomes Tomatoes is a poetry book written by Julie Fogliano and Illustrated by Julie Morstad and published in 2016. This book is a collection of poems that depict the changing of the seasons throughout the year and how we change with the seasons as well. It goes from the beautiful blossoms of spring scenes to summer activities, to fall chills and the serene quiet of winter.
