Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Another idea is Mad Libs. That is a favourite with my oldest.

Another thing we do is that after they have copied out a poem, I put it back in their workbox and invite them to switch words around or add synonyms to see how that changes the meaning or the flow of the poem.
