New poem to memorize
Hearts are like doors
Hearts, like doors, will open with ease,
To very,very, little keys
And don't forget that two of these
Are "thank you, sir" and "if you please!"

Zelinsky and Sleeping beauty was written by Jane Yolen .We then wrote up the beginning, middle and the end for rapunzel. Then we read sleeping beauty and did a venn diagram comparing the two stories as they had some similiarities.
