A student went to his meditation teacher and said,“My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, my legs ache, and I’m constantly falling asleep. It’s just horrible!”“It will pass,” the teacher said matter-of-factly.
Has it really only been a week? Wow . . .

When we first met CDS, our church was meeting in a hotel conference room with the hope that one day we would be able to build a permanent church home. Fast forward seven years, and we are in our own building and have almost doubled in size while the hotel in which we had been meeting has closed. Glen recognized that our church was something special — even when local banks could not see (or fund) our vision. After listening to our vision and plans, Glen helped us by raising private equity to f
The 13-page lesson, "Catch a Little Rhyme," is a fun activity to do with 5th to 8th-grade students while reinforcing poetic language and technique. In this lesson, students will write a poem, learn how to revise it, and then present it in small groups, or to the whole class in a poetry slam. The lesson includes detailed lesson plans for how to write the poem, how to teach students collaborative revision, and how to conduct a poetry slam. The lesson can take anywhere from 2 to 3 days depending on whether you do the poetry slam. Eve Merriam’s poem, “Catch a Little Rhyme,” is a perfect introduction to writing rhyming poetry. For some students, rhyming comes naturally. But for others, rhyming in a poem is a struggle. Some students will attempt to force a rhyme or lose the rhythm of the poem in order to create the rhyme. Students often get stuck and write very simple rhymes. This lesson teaches students how to write a rhyming poem and how to avoid the pitfalls of a forced, trite, or cliched rhyme. In addition, it’s a great poem for discussing the importance of verbs and personification, and how an author's word choice determines the mood and tone of the poem. Finally, it’s just a fun poem, and although students often find it challenging to write the poem, in the end, they have fun and enjoy sharing their poems and listening to other students’ poems. Students enjoy this activity because it is, as many have told me, fun to write a silly poem that is challenging structurally. Catch a Little Rhyme: A Lesson Based on Eve Merriam's Poem
Over the years I have written a few articles. Some were published in local teacher organization publications. They are just sitting here on my computer, so I decided to share them if anyone out there might be interested. 1. WHO, WHOM AND WHOSE—I tried to use humor to explain how to use these pronouns correctly. You will learn about these characters: who-ists; whom-ists, and whom-ists wannabes—those who use WHOM when it is not necessary, trying to impress others with their superior knowledge. 2. UNJUSTLY MALIGNED: IN DEFENSE OF HISSELF AND THEIRSELVES I explain the broken linguistic patterns that cause these forms to be misused so frequently. After you read this article, you will agree that in reality, they are actually not so wrong. 3. INVISIBLE LETTERS—Let’s face it: The English language has so many truly confusing details. I am not talking about SILENT letters, but those that are inserted into words even though there is no written evidence that they should exist. Actually most of them do NOT technically exist. For example, in my childhood in Texas I was shocked when I discovered that the word warsh was spelled without the invisible R. 4. WHAT ROSA PARKS DID FOR ME—A good article for the week of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday. As a young white girl, I was confused by how people really behaved when we were taught that “all men are created equal.” I used a bit of humor to make a very serious point. When I read this while I was substitute teaching for some 8th grade teachers here in Texas, in 5 of the 6 classes, the students gave me a “standing ovation.” The other class was not awake yet. The classes were multi-racial and most of the students pre-judged me to be a prejudiced old white lady. After I read this article to the classes, students would see me in the hall, come up and give me a friendly greeting, even "grandma" hugs.
