SPINE POETRY

 Spine Poetry ... what is it??  Well ... it's a simple poem using the spines of books.  My students found 5 books and arranged their titles to create their own unique poem.  Some of the poems turned out pretty good ... Enjoy! :-)

REFLECTION

From March 5, 2013

Looking back to the beginning of my time at CVMS it always makes me smile.  This was my 2nd year as a teacher and I was lucky enough to be on THE BEST team in the building ... 6th Grade Explorers.  The five of us worked so well together and shared many laughs.  Even though some of this team are now teaching or working elsewhere, I remember this time with great fondness.

INSPIRATION

From March 4, 2013

Each year I travel to my parents' house in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.  It's here that I not only find relaxation, but also inspiration. The time I spend at our mountain getaway is during the winter, sometimes Spring Break, and almost always during the hot Texas month of August.  While sitting on the front porch reading a book or 4-wheeling along a mountain trail, I marvel in the beautiful landscape and sunsets that Colorado residents are lucky enough to have each day.  Remind me why I live in the concrete jungle of Dallas?!?  ha ha :-)
