I interviewed Laura Purdie Salas about her new book IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT in March. That interview is HERE.
Then I had an opportunity to work with a fourth grade class. We made a list of classroom inanimate objects. I am featuring their poems all week.

Love these, Jone! Thank you for sharing:>) I LOVE that the calendar is as smart as a 7th grader. And what a great patriotic feeling I get reading the flag poem. Excellent job, Tim and Kelton!
