Cora wasn't really excited to go, and we often don't force her to go places, but Vi was asking her to come and see some of her English work on the classroom walls.
Thankfully, Cora's favorite Web-streaming D&D troupe, Critical Role, took this particular Thursday off, so that worked in our favor. And in the end, Cora did go around and say hello to a few of the teachers she'd enjoyed in her all-too-short time in junior high.
In fact, we never got to go to an Open House for Cora at this school, because of Covid.
The Accelerated Math students worked in groups to make little putting challenges, and Violet's sadly was worse for the wear after an unexpected rainstorm Thursday afternoon.
Stace had encouraged Violet to cut their project like a puzzle to be able to get it to school, as we don't have a big truck for transport. However, the transport problem didn't seem to affect anyone else, as most other projects were very elaborate and large. The girls got a good laugh at how, um, not excellent Violet's team's project was.
Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
Violet is much more of a winner when it comes to art and English and history.
Her poem here was pretty stellar.
ODE TO A GRAIN OF SAND
Birthed from time
Older than life
Beauty in the midst of strife
What became of you,
Oh, great mountain?
As all submit to time,
Even worlds return to dust.
Humans search for cities
of ruin
For knowledge of secrets.
But what becomes of the overlooked?
Perhaps something of beauty
but instead glass and stones.
Perhaps you know history
beyond comparison
yet all memories fade to dust.
And, the poppies are starting to pop; this was the yard of my friend's neighbor.
Also this week, Seb apparently caught a tiny bird.
