Rainy days have made it difficult to create chalk art or poetry. It's still on my list.

Love that image of the mists of dust when words awake, and the reference to fireflies. We don't have them in Colorado-our loss, so when I see others talk of them it makes me sad, especially for the kids! Thanks as always for doing!

My students were not very brilliant, but we chalked up the sidewalk for Happy Poetry Friday! The principal came by and loved it. She invited us to do it for Grandparent's Day in two weeks. http://reflectionsontheteche.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/august-chalk-a-bration/Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199782930459196945.post-33157406926039034462013-08-31T08:06:55.559-04:002013-08-31T08:06:55.559-04:00Hi Betsy,

And your mother-in-law asks such a poignant question.<br />My daughter and I wanted to join in on today's fun. I've posted our poems and photos on my blog.<br />http://elizabethsteinglass.com/2013/08/chalk-a-bration/<br />What a great idea!<br />LizLiz Steinglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614059299412727544noreply@blogger.com
