Slice 29 of 31: Nearing the end! My brain has been on spring break this entire week. So excited. Tonight, I’ve listed some movies I’d like to see as I kick back and relax 🙂
Since we are near the end – I decide to try a poem. I write poems for myself but never for the public eye. ( except for one set of poems put into a hand made book a few years ago) This one needs more work I think but it seemed to fit my theme of students and learning this month.
Day 29–hard to believe the month is almost over. Today’s post: High School. Where the love of reading goes to die.
