More Elementary School Memories

I thought I would photograph my pussy willows in the soft morning light and since I was thinking about teaching at the elementary school yesterday, they reminded me of a second grade teacher that I loved.  She was very big into poetry in her classroom.  She had a poem for every occasion.  I remembered only the last couple of lines of this one but Dr. G. was able to fill in the blanks for me.  Her students would glue a catkin on paper to make a card.  They would then draw a cat's head, paws and tail.  She had asked me to show them how to draw the face.They added several cats, howling, climbing trees, and sleeping on a rug.  Great memories.
