3rd Grade Poetry Celebration

So, so sweet today watching Skye & her classmates recite poems.

Skye recited "Catch a Little Rhyme" by Eve Merriam.

I loved it.

Every minute.

Catch a Little Rhyme

by Eve Merriam

Once upon a time

I caught a little rhyme

I set it on the floor

but it ran right out the door

I chased it on my bicycle

but it melted to an icicle

I scooped it up in my hat

but it turned into a cat

I caught it by the tail

but it stretched into a whale

I followed it in a boat

but it changed into a goat

When I fed it tin and paper

it became a tall skyscraper

Then it grew into a kite

and flew far out of sight ...
