This morning I wrote a limerick before school for Ivan. He’s leader of the week for his class and was supposed to bring in pictures of himself to share. I couldn’t find any and he didn’t want any old pictures either. He wanted pictures that Kris had taken on his phone at the air show last weekend. Not easy to get prints of those…at least not for me. I felt bad that I hadn’t managed to do more, so I whipped up an Ivan limerick this morning for him to take to school for his teacher (Miss Mary) to read. He loved it.
A sweet little dreamer named Ivan,
Saw himself in the future just thrivin’.
He’s a famous inventor,
With Miss Mary his mentor,
There’s no limit to where he’s arrivin’.
That’s so cute!
How great! A wonderful self esteem boost for Ivan!
