As a 'singer/songwriter' I'm wild about the interplay of language and the 'sounds' of syllables. I get a kick out of saying, "syllabication!" As a former elementary art teacher, I'm cra-cra-crazy about children's expressive art. When they are combined together? Art and Language? Language and Art? Onomaopoeia? Behold art poetry. BAZINGA!
Grand-slam. Home-run. Touchdown! Slam-dunk. Hole-in-one!
Not that I 'should' have a favorite......
but I'm a BIG fan of the word "DREAM."
I may just need to print that one out and hang it above my desk!
{Look up at the top of the blog under my freebies tab:
there's a whole compilation of quotes on the dream concept.}
Here's what the whole class of onomatopoeia work/words on newsprint looks like on the bulletin board out in the elementary school hallway. I captured these at our WonderBoy's school in central Ohio.
Speaking of WonderBoy. As I type, they are headed this way! They are driving cross country to come spend the coming week with us, up here in our haven-home.
Today is my hubby's birthday! It's a BIG birthday! It's a party of epic proportions! We will be spending the coming days having a Zap, ZONK, SpLaT, bOOM, KerplunK time together. If I'm 'gone' from cyberspace, have no fear. I plan a big return!
Have a great weekend! I'm just beginning or get the coming months orchestrated for school visits. It that's on your wish-list, it's time to start the conversation!
*Thanks so much for your pin! That's how I get 'discovered.'
