Poem of the Week (6/2-6/6)

Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Selections)

The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring-fish
That lived in the beautiful sea.
“Now cast your nets wherever you wish,--
Never afraid are we!”
So cried the stars to the fisherman three,
Wynken
Blynken
And Nod.

Poem of the Week (5/19-5/23)

Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Selections)

Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe. --
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and what do you wish?”
The old moon asked the three.
“We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,”
Said Wynken
Blynken
And Nod.

Poem of the Week (5/12-5/16)

The Muddy Puddle

I am sitting
In the middle
Of a rather Muddy,
Puddle,
With my bottom
Full of bubbles
And my boots
Full of mud,

While my jacket
and my sweater
Go on slowly
Getting wetter
As I very
Slowly settle
To the bottom
Of the mud.

And I find that
What a person
With a puddle
Round his middle
Thinks mostly
In the muddle
Is the Muddi-
Ness of Mud

By Dennis Lee

Parent Reminder

With outdoor school approaching, excitement builds. It is our intention to help keep students focused on school work and the need to "stick with it." It has been a long standing policy at Corridor that when we start our outdoor school electives, any missing homework assignments will be saved for the student to work on during recreation time at outdoor school. This is our way of helping students understand the value of work completion without keeping them from outdoor school electives to make up missing assignments. Please reinforce this concept with your child. Thanks for your help.

Poem of the Week (5/5-5/9)

Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes!

Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes,
stop torturing me,
why can’t you behave
more considerately,
you’ve bitten me practically
down to the bone,
mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
please leave me alone!

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
you’re hard to ignore,
I itch and I scratch,
I can’t stand anymore,
you’ve bitten my bottom,
you’ve bitten my top,
mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
I’m begging you stop!

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
I honestly feel
it’s time that you went
somewhere else for a meal,
you’ve bitten me places
I can’t even see,
mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
stop torturing me!
