PoetryThe Rainforest By Martha McDermott
The birds were singing and the sun was shining, the monkeys were howling loud, The river was flowing and the fish were swimming,As the flamingos were standing proud. A very light drizzle was falling down, as a Jaguar crouched on the ground, A majestic leapord climbed a tree, as if he had a crown, while a green hummingbird full of life lively buzzed around.

Food for Thought
• The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth."--Dan Rather
