I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
By: William Wordsworth.
I wondered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Thank you for your feedback. It’s great to hear that people are reading our posts! It means a lot to our students!
Thank you for sharing that poem. I can see why it makes you feel calm and peaceful. This is important when we work with kids. We teach our students options on the playground or other times when they are angry on how to react. This gives me an idea for the door in my class that leads to the playground. I can use your po-e-tree idea in some form to give kids something soothing or positive to look at on the way out and when they come back in from recess. It may alleviate some tension.
