Happy Wednesday. Somehow, the weeks are flying by. We're already almost done with our four week of distance learning. Crazy.
Zooms are at 9 and 10 today. See you there.
Check-in Question for today: What do you wish teachers knew or would do differently in the transition to online learning?
Before we look at our prompts, let's talk a little about our poetry collections and the poetry slam.

From Winter Tangerine: "Imagine your body as a planet. What do you orbit?"
From Writer's Digest:
"For today’s prompt:
Write a love poem and/or…
Write an anti-love poem. Because some folks just aren’t that into love poems.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."
