Today is my first day back to school. The kids come on Friday. Ready or not?
This year our gifted team plans to focus on heroes. For one of our Summer Poem Swaps, Tabatha Yeatts sent a prompt to write a poem from the words of someone. I chose to look at Malala Yousafzai’s words with the theme of heroes in mind. I found this image and quote.
One child
can step by step
walk across stones
wobble, fall, rise
to hope.One teacher
can line her shelves
with books, voices
pointing the way
to climb.One book
can open young eyes
to injustice, prejudice, pain
so they can build a road
to peace.One pen
can move a single hand
to create new lines, new words
new art, making a change
to the world.–Margaret Simon
