Quote-of-the-day from Matthew, age 11, in 365 Days of Wonder:
This precept gave me the opportunity to teach about simile. Avalyn understood immediately and created her own simile. When the syllable count emerged as 5, then 7, I saw a haiku in the making. Avalyn completed it with a dazzling 5-syllable line.
Hope is the rainbow
Avalyn, 2nd grade
sparkling in the sunshine rain
dazzling air with Joy!
