I saw that in the daily herald...

how stupid can you get???

and take it from me, i've got firsthand experience. they can't call the s*** they serve in schools "healthy." at least in my area, which is close enough to chicago.

if they banned home lunches at my school, i would just skip eating every day. i don't blame the kids for throwing the lunches away. :/

How much of a say should your child's school have in what he/she eats at lunch during the school day?

I personally believe that the school should just mind their own business when it comes to parents feeing their children. I saw that article a while ago and it doens't make sense at all. Do the HONESTLY think that their reheated frozen crap (yes I said crap) is more nutritious than what some parents pack for their children? And what if I decide to feed my child junk food? Why is it the school's concern? If my child is unhealthy and heavy because I feed him crap, that's my problem. I do believe that if parents WANT to let their kids eat school lunches, that's their choice; but packed lunches shouldn't be banned. That is just plain ridiculous.

Ideas for celebrating National Poetry Month??

I like the idea of the poetry reading. Also think it'd be great to create a poetry book for the class, grade or school. I still have one we put together when I was in 6th grade!

Any local poets that might be able to do something with the kids? Or maybe you can get parents involved - the kids ask their parents what their favorites were. They bring them in and some of the parents will probably even read them.

Maybe, if you have a sponge activity, you give the kids the start of a poem everyday and they have to complete it.

Do you have a daily in-house TV? Announcements? You could do one there. Or give the kids a word and everyone writes a rhyming word on a piece of paper and puts it in a box at lunch time. Draw one out per day and share it, and give the kid something. You could end up writing a poem, doing a sentence per day.

Who is the poet that wrote so many mixed up poems, like runny babbit instead of bunny rabbit. I can not think of his name, but if you have someone that can read those, you may have kids and adults crying!

I also really like Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. It follows a boy through the process of creating a poem. It also introduces students to a lot of different types.

What about all the places you see poetry? Examples galore! Songs, jingles, greeting cards...see how widespread it is! Okay, I'm getting carried away now.
