Poem #150

Here's one from James...

     Skateboard


   On   the   sidewalk
   Wheels   hitting   rocks
   Ollies
   People   watching   you
   On   wheels   rushing
   Down   the   street
   Bumpy
   Loud
   Cars   rushing
   Down   the   streets
   Up   and   down
   Over   hills   and
   Bridges
   The   skateboard
   With
   Skateboarding
   Shoes

Thanks, James!

Have a good night, everyone!

PS - PaRP this Friday at 8:30am! Hope to see you there!

Poem #149

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Olivia last Friday. She moved to Massachusetts and is enrolled in a new school. We wish her the best!

In her honor, Sophie wrote a poem (I asked Sophie about her second line, but she didn't know exactly what it meant either)...

      Olivia

  Olivia   is   nice
  And   firm.   And
  I   wished   she
  Could   stay   but......
  She   can't   and   I   know
  Why...   She   had   to
  Move.   I   don't
  Know   why!   But   for
  Her   I   gave   an
  Eraser   and   she   gave
  Me   a   pink   post-it   that   she   wrote   for   me.

Thanks, Sophie!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #145

Here are two by Grace...

        Rocks


  Rocks   fall   down
  With  color   crashing
  Sun   shine   rises   upon   the   mountain
  Of   rocks   falling   rolling
  Put   together   to   look   big.   Small   rocks,
  And   big   rocks   go   together   to   make
  Things.   And   butterflies   glow.
  And   the   moon   rises
  By   the   midnight   sky
  Glowing.




   My   Pencil


  My   pencil   is
  Bright   red.   It's
  As   sharp   as   a
  Nail.   When   it's
  Dull   you   need
  To   sharpen   it.
  When   you   feel
  Like   it's   sharp
  Enough   you   pull
  It   out.

Thanks, Grace!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #144

Carter wrote this one over vacation...

     Spring


   Butterflies
   Rainbow   wings   all   around


   Grass   touching
   The   sky   from
   The   ground

Thanks, Carter!
