thinking/out loud

I've been meaning to mention this opportunity to you...I don't know if you've ever heard of Poetry Out Loud, but please check out the website and see if this competition might be something you're interested in.  The gist is that you memorize and recite a published poem in competitions at the school, local, state and national levels to win scholarship money.   You can find the poems on the website, along with videos of past winners and more information about the contest and prizes.  I could see several of you being successful at this! 

There is an informational meeting after school on Wednesday in Ms. Thater's room upstairs in 220.  If you are interested but can't make it to the meeting, let me know and we'll figure it out.  

Also, I've mentioned before that I am in charge of putting together Kickapoo's Think. Magazine every year.  I plan to peruse your blogs again in the spring for possible pieces to publish (lots of Ps in this paragraph).  I will check with you before doing so, but if you have other pieces you'd like to submit, please email them to me.  I'll also likely enter some of your work in the LAD Fair in March or April, but again, I'll track you down for your approval before I do so.  

You all are a gift to work with!  Thanks so much!
