“Hope is the Thing with Feathers”
Posted by Faith BarbutoOola’s mom, Susan, came and shared her artistic talents with us recently. First she read a story about the beauty in making mistakes. We made beautiful water color paintings on paper that she had carefully stenciled a bird onto beforehand. Once the paintings were dry, the medium was scraped off to reveal the form of a bird. To close the activity, Susan read a favorite poem by Emily Dickinson. All the children were given a copy and a print of a lovely bird. An excerpt from the poem follows:
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all”
