Twas the Night Before Christmas

Wishing you all a merry Christmas.  May you have a wonderful holiday and may scrumptious books wash over your eyes, minds, and hearts constantly.  Here is various versions of a holiday classic for you: Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore (1779 - 1863).

This version is by Peeka Productions, who create custom DVDs for babies and kids, with you as the storyteller!  * for more information.    Two girls who wanted to share their favourite Christmas story with a child they knew - Madelaine - made this DVD.

Two more poems!

Well, Eden inspired other students to write poetry - thanks Eden.

Grace, Grade 3

Puzzle pieces, puzzle pieces
trying to find a pair.
Puzzle pieces, puzzle pieces everywhere.
Puzzle pieces, puzzle pieces you can hardly find them anywhere!

Carson, Grade 4

Peace peace everywhere.
You can bring peace here and there.
so please bring peace and not harm.
Peace is love from heart to heart.

Great excitement about poetry and the world!
