This has some great ideas for writing nonsense rhyming poems with your
children, all ages.  Some lists of rimes, too.

While gathering information on Connecticut's charter oak (because of their
quarter), these writing lessons turned up.  Even if you aren't from CT,

Some of you wanted to know more when I published my class book,
_Impressions of Monet_ with a grant.  Here's a new grant program, offered
by the same company.

This page will describe the grant.  Three teachers must work together.  It
is for this spring semester only.
