O knihe

"The voices of our children speak to us in many ways. This
collection of poetry was created by the students of
Washington school for their enjoyment, as a learning
experience and for your pleasure. Many of our students and
staff were reluctant to become involved in this project.
However, as the process evolved, both the students and staff
became more and more enthusiastic about what was
happening in the classrooms. Students started cranking out
a variety of material that showed both insight and a creative
thinking side that many had not displayed in the past. Staff
became more excited to see the enjoyment the students had
in producing, as well as sharing their writing.
This has been an outstanding project for our whole school
community and we recommend it to others as a positive
teaching aid for writing and self discovery. One teacher
said," I didn't think my class (students) would be able to
participate in this project, but they proved me wrong. This
has been a great experience for us. My students really
surprised me! I will incorporate this poetry unit in my class
next year."
We hope you will enjoy reading and pondering the thoughts
of our children."
~ PRINCIPAL DUSANEK
WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

"For we children, the most beautiful thoughts are already
poetic. We are magical, fresh, exciting and wise enough to
know that we can change the whole world by just being
ourselves. Our feelings are special. We are tender and we
carry our own colors, each different with different shades.
The poems that follow are written by children and selected
by children as winners of an ongoing poetry competition.
These poems are intended to introduce the wonders of
poetry to the new generation."
