I haven't been posting regularly, but I wanted to at least post the sketch for my idea for "Cave." This topic made me think of the one cave I would love to visit (though the real one is closed now): Lascaux, where one can see the most amazing prehistoric art.
That was my idea for a quick spot, done quickly in pencil. The next topic is coming up soon, so I'll try to post a finished piece for it!

by Jeremy Tankard Candlewick 2008 Edwin the Caveboy is hungry, but Ma and Pa Cavepeople are busy (Pa is trying to figure out how to navigate a peanut with a club, Ma's got a gaggle of younger kids to deal with), so Edwin decides to go hunting for himself! Rabbit hides, Porcupine is too sharp, Tiger is too mean, it looks like Edwin will go hungry until he comes across a Mastodon who shares his

Courtesy of The Writer's Almanac, today is John Masefield's birthday. I love his poem, Sea Fever.
In other poetry news, I borrowed the idea for having my students write letter poems from Elaine at Wild Rose Reader. I shared LOVE LETTERS by Arnold Adoff and DEAR WORLD by Takayo Noda. Then I invited my 5th graders to choose some object around the room or some activity we did in the past two years as the subject for a poem that I would post next year in the fall. These poems would be their way to tell the new loopers, the new 4th graders that I will teach for 2 years, a little about life in room 222. Here are a few of my favorites.
Dear Mr. Quaker Oats,
Sorry we
ate
some of you
Sorry we got
mold
on you from the apples
The taste
is still
in our mouths
We are sorry But
you taste
So good.

Dear Future Class,
You
will have
lots of fun
with read alouds
and stories.
You
also will
have fun with
Christmas surprises but
you have
to
guess what
the surprise is.
You should behave
and be
good
sometimes the
best teacher in
the world a.k.a.
known as
Ms. Hahn
might give
you candy or
heads up

up.
Well what
I'm saying is
good behavior leads
to good things.

Monica, hi.
I like this sketch!! It has a horse in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! yippee!
Ahem...I'm only a 'little' horse crazy...hee hee.
This will make a great painting too.
I can see this as a neat story. The little girl discovers this cave and she only tells one best friend about it and they go on great adventures together in there!
My mind has been on a super over loaded fast track lately. I have so many ideas myself...I need to harness it!

This is really a great idea for cave and of course I just love the sketch. This is fabulous I know what you mean about posting. I've been doing some work and just not finding the time to post. I do plan to get back in the swing. I can't wait to see this finished!!!
Monica, I love this idea--I've always had a fascination with caves & have wanted to see the real cave drawings. Nice loose drawing that says a lot.
Great Lascaux painting. I love the way you got in the primitive style of the cave paintings and your own at the same time.
