Red

Red

by Liam

Red is the rose petals falling

Red is love

Red is the blood on the cross

Red is the strawberry growing

Red smells like cherries

Red tastes like sweet juice on a hot day

Red sounds like fire crackling

Red looks like apples falling from the tree

Red feels like Jello

Red makes me angry

Red is red hot

A Horse

 A Horse

by Steven

 

A horse is a horse

For some the main course

They sometimes neigh

But they always eat hay

 

A horse is a horse

I'll help you of course

I say hey

The horse said neigh

Someone Catch my Socks!

I wanted to share some of the poems that the students have been creating.  Today's poem is written by Megan.  Enjoy!

 

Someone Catch my Socks!

 

Someone catch my socks,

before I throw a bunch of rocks!

My socks have flown the hatch,

you do know they are very hard to catch!

 

I opened the door,

and they fell on the floor!

They said I would pay,

for making them stay.

 

I started to run,

and it started to be fun!

But then they came back,

And I said I would hack!

Pass the Poetry Please

Last week, we began our poetry unit.  Today the students had the opportunity to look at word choice, and the students started creating their very own Word Buffets.  Here are some of their favorite words.

Eiffel Tower
delightful
paradise
bumbled
desperate
flabbergasted
untamed
crunchy
prickly
contagious
whisper

Stay tuned for more highlights as the students begin writing some of their own poetry.  Also ask students to read the "poem in their pockets".  You'll be impressed by what you find!

Silly Cells

Welcome Back!  I hope that each of you had a wonderful break and a blessed Easter weekend remembering Christ's gift to us.  It sure was great to hear the excitement from the students this morning.  They sure seemed happy to see all of their friends again, and to swap stories from the last two weeks.  I thought I would post a few pictures of the Silly Cell science workshop that the students participated in just before Spring Break.  The students enjoyed a visiting guest scientist and got to take part in some hands on science activities.
