Poem #109

Here's one from Patrick...

     Rockets


   Fly   through   the
   Sky   like   lightning.


   Rockets   they   tumble
   Like   gymnasts.


   Rockets   are   all   different   colors
   Like   a   rainbow.


   Rocket   tips   feel   like
   A   spear.

Thanks, Patrick!

Have a nice vacation week everyone!

Poem #107 and #108

Here's a poem by Cole and another by Jordan.

First Cole's...

    In   My   Closet


  Monsters   in   my
  Closet   Monsters
  In   the   hallway
  Monsters   in   the   kitchen
  Monsters   on   the
  Stairs   Monsters
  Under   my   bed
  Monsters   on   the
  Ceiling
  Monsters   next   to   me
  In   the   rocking   chair
  A   monster   comes
  Down   the   light   went
  On   I   screamed   it   was   just
  Mom

Thanks, Cole!

Now for Jordan's...

    Red


  I   like   red   you
  Like   red
  I   like   blue.
  You   like
  Yellow.

Thanks, Jordan!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #105 and #106

Here are two poems, one from Olivia (it's her birthday today! Happy Birthday Olivia!) and one from Sophie...

     Poem   About   Her


   My   rose   was   growing
   It   was   turning
   Red   I   was   happy   because
   It   was   for   my   mom
   For   Mother's   Day
   Then   it   was   Mother's   Day
   It   was   finished   growing
   My   red   rose   was
   Beautiful
   I   needed   to   water   it   again
   And   then   I   showed   my   mom.

Thanks, Olivia!


     Dogs


   Dogs   dogs   all   around.
   Some   have   thick   fur.   And
   Some   have   thin.


   Some   have   fluffy   fur.
   And   some   not   at   all.


   Dogs   are   cute.   And
   Most   dogs   wear   tiny
   Coats   in   the   cold   cold   winter.


   Dogs   dogs   my   favorite
   Dogs!

Thanks, Sophie!

Have a nice night, everyone!

Poem #104

Here's one from Patrick...

     Soccer


  Run  with  the  ball
  Jumping  over  feet
  Speeding   down   the   field
  Weaving   through   opponents
  Sliding   and   jumping
  Passing   and   passing
  Aiming   and   shooting
  GOAL!

Thanks, Patrick!

Enjoy the spring-like evening, everyone!

Poem #103

    Valentine's   Day


  When   it   is   Valentine's   Day
  We   like   to

  Fall   in   love.


  Valentines   is   about
            love.

Poem #101 and #102

Here are two poems, one for Tuesday and one for today:
The first one is from Michael...

     Wrecking   Balls


   Wrecking   balls   destroy
   Buildings   with   their
   Mighty   metal   ball
   The   Buildings
   Collapse   to   the
   Ground


The second one is from Carter...

     Planets


          Venus.   Very
   Hot.   Sandy.   I
   Think   it   spins   backwards.
          Earth.   Filled
   With   life.
   Machines   and   houses
   Too.
          Mars.
   Sulfuric   acid
   Clouds.   Red   dust.
   Dust   storms.
   Filled   with   secrets.

Thanks, Michael and Carter!

Have a good night, everyone!

Poem #100

Wow!  100 days of school!  Yea!

Today we wrote a whole-class poem for the first time in a while...

Valentines   Come   to   Everything!


     Valentines   come   to   everything!
          Even   plants   and   clothes,
     Happy   Valentine   my   lucky   sock
     Happy   Valentine   my   dying   Christmas   cactus
     Happy   Valentine   my   barking   dog
     Happy   Valentine   my   old   squished   banana   peel
     Happy   Valentine   my   shattered   glasses
     Happy   Valentine   my   world!

Not your everyday Valentine's poem, wouldn't you agree?
Have a nice night, everyone!
