So I thought as it is the last post, I would write a poem based on the letter z about the children I work with and some of their special needs - see if you can guess what each one might possibly be (answers right at the end of the blog).
Z is for zig-zags
As I look at the words on the paper and they float about all
over the page
Z is for zebra
My favourite animal I can talk to you about for hours
instead of doing my maths
Z is for Zebedee (from the Magic Roundabout)
My nickname ‘cos I bounce about and can’t sit still in class when I'm writing
Z is for zips
Which I struggle with when I have to put on or take off my
coat
Z is for zoning out
Only for a few seconds but I still miss things in class and it's all a muddle
Z is for zero
On my test paper
Cos I didn’t understand the questions and there was no one
to help
But Z is also for the zest and zeal
My teacher tells me I have in lots of other things I do
and finally please remember
Z is for Zenith
The success and power I will have if I'm given the right support
and understanding.
A really big thank you to all those who have become
followers during this month or have commented on my posts – I have so enjoyed
becoming part of the A to Z community and opening myself up to a whole lot of
new blogs and experiences. If you would
like to leave a comment about this post or maybe which blogs have become
special to you during the challenge please do so – I’d love to hear and please
do keep popping back and visiting me in the coming months.

Lovely to have your link - thought the article was very interesting and would be very helpful to secondary school English teachers in suggesting books for teens to read.
ReplyDelete"The Curious Incident.." is one of my favourite books and has stayed with me a long time after I read it.
