Good Morning and GO GIANTS!


For today's Quick Write, get out the "Nothing Gold Can Stay" poem from yesterday.  Then, think about everything that is "golden" in your life . . . in other words, those things, people, or events that you value and hold dear.  Write a paragraph about the "golden" places of your life.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.
