St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day! Here is a picture of my little leprechaun. I guess she wanted to make sure that she didn't get pinched!

We are mostly on spring break but I gave the girls a little fun assignment today to write a poem about the color green. So far, only Ali and I have ours done. Mine is really terrible but I thought I would share it for fun anyway...

Here is Ali's:

Summer's Color Green

I love to swing on summer's green trees

because the color green is not mean

it's oh so sweet

summer's green grass lays beneath my feet

it's such a treat

I pick flowers with green stems

then I climb my trees big limbs

I love summer's color green

it can be so many things

It can be the grass or the leaves

or even a little bumble bee (with a cold)

the color green is very special

I was told. The End

I love it!!!!

Here's mine:

Oh Ode to Green

Green, green

you make me want to sing

leaves you turn green

grass you turn green and burst into spring.

When I go to the fridge

to find a casserole I forgot

green is the color

that I really hope it is not.

Oh green is the color

of apples so tart

of broccoli and salad

you make me fart

Green, green

To you I must say

Top 'O the morning and

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
