these are just adorable, jan! in the 2nd grade, the teachers in my grandson's school had a vocabulary fair based on a book called "Miss Alaineus" about a girl who misunderstands some vocabulary words and is embarrassed. i'll bet you could keep going for quite a while with this idea...

Jan Allison
Date: 10/4/2021 2:22:00 PM

I have a few more ideas for poems,I was only going to do 5 but the more i did the more ideas came, mmm miss Alaineus is one i didn't think of! I may have to continue with many more:-) hugs Jan xx
