My Modified Ode to the Color Green


green is the color of new growth in nature
green is the color we use at school when students are at or above grade level
green just makes me happy
green is the color of a juicy apples
green is the color of my bookbag and books bring me JOY
green is the scarf that my friend brought me from China
green eyes are mesmerizing 
green is the sign of spring which means summer is just around the corner
green goes well together with purple
green marker on the board is so soothing
green is the color of the vegetables that I should eat more of
green just makes me happy! 
green is the color of my favorite highlighter 
green energizes me! (and I need energy today!!)
green are my future sandals (just have to wait for the snow to melt)
green is the color around me as I write
green just makes me happy

After a long day of testing and conferences yesterday, I needed a reminder of things that bring me joy! I do not mean that I had sad or difficult conferences, but it was just a really long day, and I am tired now.  Perhaps I will even wear a green shirt today?!?

  10. I, too, love green. Today I'm surrounded by a world of white (it's hailing). I could use a little splash of green.
