Poetry

Elizabeth has been learning about concrete and abstract nouns in Language Arts.   They had to write a poem about an abstract noun (an idea, feeling, quality or characteristic) - and use concrete nouns (things that can be seen, heard, smelled, touched or tasted) to describe it.   

I was a little stunned with Elizabeth's poem.  I found it very profound and moving.   Her teacher loved it and has kept it for showing future classes, however she did ask me about Elizabeth's emotional well-being during our last parent-teacher conference last week, because of the poem.
