In colors I’m various
A chameleon in change;
Through stars, crowns and diamonds
I take a wide range.
Then leaving the treasures
Of nobles and kings,
I turn me to flowers ,
And humbler things.
I’m uniform always
And that you’ll think strange;
For one so capricious,
an instant will change.
What am I?

Notice: I am concerned with the general quality of work that has been turned in the past few weeks. Some students seem to think "good enough" is just right. I put them on notice that when I see their work I expect it to be the best they can do, and that quality will count toward points. I can no longer accept shoddy workmanship.
Thanks! Mrs. Cameron
