A Gem in our Day

I'd be the first to tell you that A Beka curriculum is a workbook curriculum. I don't think it's the workbook of all workbooks because I haven't seen them all. I like ABeka because it's colorful. It's all laid out - and, well, It works for us. (We're using it for Phonics, math and writing) (though, we're gradually heading into copy work)

So when we have a gem that makes us laugh - we just soak it in.

Is it possible to soak in a gem?

I probably need a better comparison.

Since this made Mini-Me laugh - I deem it worthy of sharing.

From the ABeka "Handbook for Reading"

A title-less poem about water.

(partially written by John R. Crossland)

Water has no taste at all;

Water has no smell;

Water's in the waterfall,

In pump, and tap, and well.

I like it when I'm thirsty

I like it when I'm hot.

I like it when I'm dirty

(And even when I'm not).

I like the feel of water

Tickling my toes.

But I do not like water

When it gets in my nose!
