actually met and learned alongside margaret lowman in the amazon rainforest in peru readers can learn more about the rainforest from a flip the book vertically double spread diagram of the levels of the rainforest and explore further resources listed in the back matter lowman is a pioneer in the study of rainforests and especially rainforest canopies not only did she invent new ways of studying the canopy by climbing into the tops of trees but she broke through all kinds of challenges and barriers as a woman in the area of field biology in science and now the poempair replace he his with she her it couldn t be done by edgar guest somebody said that it couldn t be done but he with a chuckle replied that maybe it couldn t but he would be one who wouldn t say so till he d tried so he buckled right in with the trace of a grin on his face if he worried he hid it he started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn t be done and he did it somebody scoffed oh you ll never do that at least no one ever has done it but he took off his coat and he took off his hat and the first thing we knew he d begun it with a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin without any doubting or quiddit he started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn t be done and he did it there are thousands to tell you it cannot be done there are thousands to prophesy failure there are thousands to point out to you one by one the dangers that wait to assail you but just buckle in with a bit of a grin just take off your coat and go to it just start in to sing as you tackle the thing that cannot be done and you ll do it this poem is in the public domain inclusion and representation in science continue to be issues for women and especially women of color a video to share with students features adania flemming a black marine biologist ichthyologist like margaret lowman who has made education about women in science and about the rainforest important parts of all she does adania flemming dreams of starting a research aquarium museum in her home country of trinidad and tobago note thank you for your patience as we figure out the transition to wordpress we will crosspost on a year of reading and

writing teachers for saving me a spot in this amazing community of writers it s been awhile thank you also to kate messner for the annual teacherswrite event challenge encouragement the topic for this first week is reflect think about a time when you were growing up and you felt peaceful and whole it s wiltingly hot today in ohio hot like nothing i experienced growing up in arid eastern colorado as a teen i sat in the glaring heat on a lifeguard stand above a blue as the sky swimming pool for 45 minutes at a time i scanned swimmers counted heads and shouted the occasional don t run i was in a zone it was some kind of chlorine and coppertone scented zen it was my identity i knew exactly who i was and how to do the work if you can call it that in today s muggy haze i entered a different kind of zen in the garden it was a dirt and green scented zen as i dug the invasive spiderwort out of the spot between the japanese iris long done blooming and the day lilies just putting up buds luckily i was mostly in the shade and also luckily the mosquitoes weren t attacking gardening is one part of my grownup identity and i m as glad for the air conditioning and the shower as i was back then for a quick dip in the pool during rest period posted by mary lee at 12 49 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels teacherswrite slice of life thursday june 24 2021 poetry friday zentangle poetry three tries three very different poems life was art no order perplexing harmonies i was left feeling dizzy the thing was i had imagined something not as unpredictable and bumpy the poetry is timeless who questions this no one how much is enough time we hope for enough time knowing there is never enough time except maybe in poems in writing them and reading them far inside them where we lose account of minutes except maybe in photographs where time sleeps but doesn t close its eyes back in 2012 i subscribed for a year to the poetry foundation s poetry journal i never read more than a poem or two here or there but i also couldn t find it in me to send them to recycling now i ve found the perfect use for them i m using poetry to make poetry and art thank you poetry sisters for this week s challenge it was fun and thanks to all who signed up to host poetry friday july december the schedule is filled linda has today s poetry friday roundup at a word edgewise it s her annual clunker exchange posted by mary lee at 8 06 pm 16 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels found poem poetry friday zentangle friday june 18 2021 poetry friday juneteenth image via unsplash now that juneteenth is a national holiday we pause in honor of liberty hope and resiliency we pause with clear eyed acknowledgement of slavery s role in building the economic foundation of our country we pause to consider a better way forward for our not always glorious national history we must not co opt this celebration with white commercialism we must not let this celebration undermine the right to protest we must not allow this celebration to eliminate the ongoing work of justice mary lee hahn 2021 draft as i read through different versions of the news of president biden s declaration of juneteenth as a national holiday i jotted words and phrases that became this poem this is juneteenth through the lens of a white american who was ignorant about juneteenth until embarrassingly recently because of gaps in my formal and informal education i am excited to share the joy of juneteenth but i understand that in many ways the deep significance of juneteenth is not mine to claim for words that weren t mine to write about liberty hope resiliency and our not always glorious national history read or better yet listen to when fannie lou hamer said by mahogany l brown and here are some children s authors illustrators and creators telling what juneteenth means to them buffy has a delight full nature poem and this week s poetry friday at her blog buffy silverman and there are just six five more slots left on the poetry friday roundup schedule claim one here posted by mary lee at 10 24 am 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels juneteenth original poetry friday wednesday june 16 2021 poempairs birds explore their extraordinary world by miranda krestovnikoff illustrated by angela harding bloomsbury 2020 review copy provided by the publisher thanks first the picture book this is a gorgeous oversized nonfiction picture book illustrated with fine art linocuts the information is grouped by types of birds by notable characteristics feathers beaks and eyes then by nests migration songs and extremes cold and urban living within each category there are big subcategories and then each subcategory has short example sections for example in the category seabirds are the two subcategories seabirds of warmer waters and seabirds of colder waters in seabirds of colder waters the reader learns about gulls great black backed gulls kittiwakes and gannets this is a great book for browsing you ll definitely be drawn in by the illustrations and then you ll find yourself perusing the bite sized text chunks the only thing that would make it better would be an index and now the poempair is it cheating to pair an entire book of poems bright wings an illustrated anthology of poems about birds edited by billy collins and illustrated by david allen sibley is the most obvious pairing lots of fun poems plus gorgeous illustrations if it s cheating to pair a whole book i ll choose the poem bird understander by craig arnold this poem about someone who notices a bird trapped in the terminal of the airport someone who notices the wrong in the world and who is desperate to help to right the wrong birding requires close observation there s much to learn about the natural history of birds if you bother to look closely but just like in life the closer you look the more you are likely to see all kinds of problems that need work one of the problems connected to birding is racism if you want to dig in more deeply here is the story of christian cooper and a link to the free comic he wrote about what happened to him in central park when he was birding last spring a video to share with students features corina newsome who broke stereotypes associated with becoming an environmentalist she is a woman of color who grew up in an urban environment but became a zookeeper who has worked with turkey vultures as an ambassador
