Hi everyone,
Thanks to all for making the most out of slush in March. Now we’ve turned the corner, more or less, and can focus on the months of growth that lie ahead. I say we make the most of it. And so, the Word of the Month for April is MAKING. Ready set go!
Making
I am the Maker;
Risk Taker,
the Fool.
My hands
and my brain
Are the ultimate Tool.
I Measure
the Mystery ,
pound out each Word.
The Binder,
the WInder Up,
Vision unblurred.

And aren’t we glad you are. Beautiful beginning for April. Thanks Jane!
A perfect little poem!
To English as a Second Language students
To do or To make
These are two verbs that give me trouble
Sometimes I think I am seeing double
I do my homework but I make the bed
Then I make a decision to make a face instead
Dad does the cooking and does the laundry
He does a good job and isn’t ornery
My sis does the dishes and my mom does the shopping
I will make a decision to keep on mopping
I have made progress in understanding these verbs
I am not trying to make fun of these wonderful words
I have made an attempt to do my best
Now I will have to learn the rest
