On the days when I am in the classroom, I am always paying attention to the potential mathematical patterns the date provides. And I have to admit, I’m sad that this great date fell on a Saturday (and during our spring break to boot!). Here’s my rough attempt at celebrating this rare mathematical date pattern in verse.
April 3, 2021
4, 3, 2, 1…blast off!
Numbers descending
stepping down
decreasing
by one
A date
marking time
beating out a rhythm
marching down the street
Eventually circling
holding hands
standing shoulder to shoulder
bow and begin
a dance of numbers
4, 3, 2, 1

I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even notice the date yesterday! I love how you found inspiration in the date and brought those numbers to life. Such fun! Enjoy your break.
