Put your eyes up here,
put your eyes on me

Ms Roys asks for her students' attention, but she doesn't really need to. Who can ignore a teacher who wears silly hats and colorful skirts, has a graveyard for used-up pencils, believes in magic and ghosts, and has special eyeballs that let her see the things that make her students unique?

In this collection of fun, lively poems by Kalli Dakos, you'll explore the world of Ms. Roys's classroom -- and you may not want to go home

Kalli Dakos, a teacher and popular school poet, lends her verse to celebrate teachers and the important work they do. These poems range from lighthearted glimpses of classroom life to selections that will inspire teachers to share their unique gifts and talents with children., Kalli hopes teachers will laugh and cry through these poems, and ultimately be inspired to celebrate the poetic moments in their own classrooms.
