I used to play it at rest time for my kindergarten students after encouraging them to listen for the seasons hiding in the music. I'm sure this was a wonderful boost for their creativity. Loved your cinquains, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067635552523381142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-79090422834216479952013-11-09T10:43:23.747-05:002013-11-09T10:43:23.747-05:00Your Environmental Club sounds like a terrific pro...Your Environmental Club sounds like a terrific program.

And I'm pleased that you look at a cinquain as more like tanka. I, too, find November a poor choice of a month to engage in an extensive challenge.
