Day 7 of Our Poetry Challenge

Today we learned about the poetic device of similes and metaphors and we are trying to write a poem using them.

Dew on the Grass

by Mrs. Cook

In the early morn I walked 

Across the dewy grass

My toes scrunched up

The cold bit them hard

They were blocks of ice!!

A Smashup of Trees and Onomatopoeia

by Mrs. Cook

A peach tree was bought

But I think it was for naught

It sits in the pot

While the weather gets hot

And I am about to go

Kapow!

#SOL16 Tuesday Writing 4-5-16

My students and I couldn't leave our daily writing behind when March was over. So I suggested we do a Poetry challenge for the month of April. Today we learned how to write a Cinquain. So my slice of life today is written in the form of a cinquain.

Spring Fever?

The children continue to come to school each day

But their minds are elsewhere

Could it be that spring fever has hit?

The weather is lovely; some may say too hot

School isn't over yet.

Play

by Mrs. Cook

I read a book or two today

School is over and 

Now it's time to go and play

The sun in out

We scream and shout 

I read a book or two today.

Spring Is Here!

by Mrs. Cook

Twitter, twitter, chirp, chirp

Two birds flutter on the roof

A fallen log

A croaking frog

Signs all around that spring is here!!

A Morning Walk

by Mrs. Cook

Started my walk early this morning

Nobody out

Peaceful yet windy

Ducks flying overhead

6 miles later, 

I was ready to fall back into bed!

April Fool's Day

by Mrs. Cook

I am not a fan of this day

Tricks and jokes aren't just child's play

My students were kind and let me be

And then my sister pulled a prank on me!!
