Summer

My mom calls me, "the little poet". She says I'm good (all moms say that). She would know whats good in writing and whats not. Her picture book Bedtime Monster is coming out in September. You can visit her at Frolicking through Cyberspace. Enough about her though. I've been writing poems  since I was really small. I love coming up with them. I wrote this a few days ago:
                                    Summer
                            In the water everyday.
                            Kids splash, kids play.
                            The water so clear and blue.
                            What does summer mean to you?

Support

   I know this blog is about reading and writing,but I have to support this. Reading and writing and cooking are my top three things. Enough about me. I'm sure you have all heard of Jamie Oliver's food revolution.
  What Jamie has done in Huntington schools is amazing. He has introduced healthy food and taken away sugary cereals and flavored milk.  Jamie first started a food revolution in Britain in 2004, having success he then started the Food Revolution in 2009. In 2008 Jamie realized that kids were eating just as bad at home as they did at school.  He started  the ministry of food and taught parents to cook. He has done a lot to improve school food and continues to. Support the cause! Sign the petition! 605,813 people have signed so far.
   This has inspired and continues to inspire adults and children everywhere. School food has always been bad and it isn't going to get better without every one's help. This is helping to save kids lives. Help continue what Jamie has  started and  continues to pursue.
