Canadian Magnetic Poetry

I picked up some magnetic poetry over the weekend (Canadian themed!), and the kids have been busy creating their own beautiful phrases at recess and lunch on my filing cabinet. Here is what they have come up so far...

• Canadians are a sea of hope beneath water
• freedom loves the lake
• beneath the tundra there is wheat
• Nunavut is none of it
• we live like a nation and we dream like one
  
• the thing about the ocean is it is free
• Ottawa is a beautiful province and I love to look at it (I'm assuming that there is some creative liberty in that phrase, and not just a bad Geography teacher!)
  
• Labrador girl laughs through the Yukon
• hockey is loonie as a boy
• the Prime Minister of Canada toboggans in a maple canoe in British Columbia's mountain praires
  
• here comes the sun with a national but liberal sky
• if my Ontario sings do I still hear (okay, that one was me)

As always, the creativity and gentleness of the kids of 5G astounds me.
