Kick a Little Stone



Kick a Little Stone
Dorothy Aldis

When you are walking by yourself
Here's something nice to do:
Kick a little stone and watch it
Hop ahead of you.

The little stone is round and white,
Its shadow round and blue.
Along the sidewalk over the cracks
The shadow bounces too.

Allison,
You are exactly right! Teachers are people just like everyone else - we try things out, make mistakes, reflect, try again. It's nice to know that my students have a little grace for me!
