My kids had poetry reading at school today. Kyle recited The Tree by Joyce Kilmer, while Kian read All Things Bright & Beautiful.
Of course, I am a proud mom, especially when their respective teachers commented how good both their diction and pronunciation was. They were also fast and eager learners, Mrs. Grace said.
I suddenly remember those days when I used to stand in front of the class & recite poems like The Tree and also the patriotic Mactan 1521. My 5th Grade English teacher used to call on me always to read in front of the class because I was a loud mouth. Ha!
Hey kids, keep it up. I’m so proud of you, my little public speakers!
