Join the Chalk-a-bration over at Teaching Young Writers
Betsy, a kindergarten teacher and fellow blogger, is hosting a round up of chalketry, poetry in chalk, at her monthly Chalkabration. On the last day of Write your Way youth writing camp a few weeks ago, we wrote haiku in chalk or chalku for the parents to read as they walked to the classroom for Author’s Chair. Here’s a sampling.

Growing and growing until
They all pass away
–Jered
Shadows move slow
and birds tweet quiet
I write in the shade.

A cool breeze blowing its leaves
