My poem for Day 6 of National Poetry Month is written to Teachers' Monthly Report and Rules (1865): Narrative School Reports from Teachers and Superintendents of Freedmen's Schools. This is a found poem created with words from the Rules.
Teacher Rules

subjects of instruction
notice and observe with
special attention
