Poems #90 and #91

Here are two poems that go together nicely, I think - one by Spencer for last Friday! And another by Olivia for today...

    Stars


  Stars   are   big.
  Stars   are   small.
  Stars   are   the   sun.
  Stars   are   night.
  I   like   looking
  At   the
  Stars!

Thanks, Spencer!


    Suns


  Suns   are   beautiful
  Because   they   are
  Bright.
  And   I   like   the
  Warm   suns.

Thanks, Olivia!

Have a great night, everyone!

Poem #89

Here's one from Alessandro...

     Snow


  Snow   is   white
  Snow   is   cold
  Snow   is   hard
  Snow   is   watery
  Snow   is   for   snowball   fights
  Snow   is   fun

Thanks, Alessandro!  (He's out sick today... Feel better!)

Have a good night, everyone!

PS - Our next Parents as Reading Partners is scheduled for February 11th, 8:30 AM!

Poem #87 and #88

Here's one for yesterday and one for today...

    Dogs


  Dogs   hate   cats
  Dalmatians   love   cats
  Dogs   dig
  Dogs   chase   cats
  Dogs   bury   bones
  I   like   dogs!

Thanks, Marcos!


     Bluebirds


  Bluebirds   bluebirds
  Everywhere!
  Where   do   they   go?
  Just   look   over   there.
  They   sit   on   trees.   And
  They   fly   in   the   air.
  Birds   can   fly   in   different
  Ways.   Their   feathers   keep
  Birds   warm.   Bluebirds
  Bluebirds   everywhere.

Thanks, Sophie!

Have a good night everyone!

Poem #86

Here's one by Olivia...

   I   See   the   Moon


     I   see   the   moon.
     I   like   the   moon.
     It   is   beautiful.
     Yes   it    is   beautiful.
     If   you   see   the   moon.
     You   will   like   it.
     The   moon   shines   at   me.

Thanks, Olivia!

Have a nice night, everyone! Don't forget to check out the moon!

Poem #85

Lylith seems to be working on a collection of nature poems.  Here's another...

     Flowers


   Grow   grow   grow
   All   around   me
   Smell   so   sweet
   Like   a   treat
   I   just   fall  onto
   The   grass   and
   Smell   the   sweet
   Flowers   until   I
   Fall   asleep
   Flowers.

Thanks, Lylith!

Have a good evening, everyone!

Poem #84

Welcome back! It feels like weeks since our last poem. Those snow days have a way of suspending time.

Anyway, here's one from James. If you remember, his good old dog, Casey, died not so long ago. And, like any good writer, James revisits those big important topics again and again. Here's another one for Casey...

     Casey


  Casey's   soft   fur
  Her   blue   eyes
  Loved   to   carry   balls
  Loved   getting   pets
  You   say   "come,"   comes
  Now   she's   gone
  We   carry   her
  In   our   hearts


Thanks, James!

Goodnight, everyone!

Poem #83

Here's one from Lylith (she's out sick today - feel better Lylith!)...

    Outdoors


   See  the  flowers
   As   the   wind   blows
   Instead   of
   Staying   indoors
   Get   dressed   and
   Go   outdoors
   And   have   some
   Outdoors   fun
   With   your   friends
   Outdoors

Thanks, Lylith!  Good advice! I think I'll call some good friends and go sledding this weekend!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #82

Here's a poem from Patrick...

     Motorboat


  I   love   motorboats.
  They   go   fast.
  They   zip   through   the
  Crashing   waves.   They
  Go   off   jumps   and   do
  Tricks.   They   flip.
  They're   all   different
  Colors.   I   want   to   see
  A   motorboat   race.

Thanks, Patrick!

Have a nice night, everyone!

Poem #81

Here's a timely poem from Grace...

     My   Wish


   First   white   snowflakes
   Come   down,   come
   Down.   I   want   to   see
   Your   six   sides   glitter   like
   Shiny.   I   want   to   touch
   You   like   water   and
   I   want   you   to   know
   This  -  come   Down.   I   always
   Think   of   you   like   crazy.
   Some   day   you   will   fall.
   Then   I   will   catch   you.
   Then   I   will   love   you.
   I   will   not   notice   you
   Next   year.


Thanks, Grace!

Have a nice night, everyone!

Poem #80

Here's a poem by Jordan...

   I   Like   Blue


     I   like   blue
     You   like   blue
     You   like   red   too.
     Why   do   you
     Like   blue?

Thanks, Jordan!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #79

Here's a poem that Eva brought into class this morning...

     Trees


   I   like   trees
   You   can   hang   ropes   on   trees
   Trees   are   green
   And   brown.   Some
   Trees   have   apples
   On   them.   Big   red
   Apples.


   The   End

Thanks, Eva!

Have a nice weekend!
PS - Thanks for a great Parents as Reading Partners!  It was nice to see everyone...

Here's one from Michael...

   Star   Wars


  Battle   ship
  In   space
  Fire   Cruiser
  Land   the   ship
  Fire   the   cannons
  Launch   the   escape pod
  Lower   the   droids
  Fire   the   tanks
  Put   on   the   shield
  Escape

Thanks, Michael!

Poem #77

Here's a poem from Carter. I think you'll agree it nicely captures the current state of mind of many first graders...

     Toys


   Loud   toys
   Stuffed   toys


   Funny   toys
   Scary   toys


   Toys!!!


   Toys   that   can   fly
   Toys   that   can   walk


   Toys   that   can   talk...
   Toys   that   can   shock


   Toys!!!!!

Thanks, Carter!
Have a good night!

Poem #75

Happy New Year!

And what better way to start the year then with a love poem?
Here's one from Kyra...

     Love


   Love   never
   Goes   it
   Always   stays
   You   love   somebody
   And   somebody   loves   you
   Love   is   hearts
   You   love   your
   Mom   and   Dad
   And   you   love   you

Thanks, Kyra!
