Back to School

When the summer smells like apples
and shadows feel cool
and falling leaves make dapples
of color on the pool
and wind is in the maples
and sweaters are the rule
and hazy days spell lazy ways,
it's hard to go to school.

But I go!
Aileen Fisher

On the first day of each week, we will copy a poem using cursive writing into our writing journals.
