Poetry safariSelections Taken from “Poetry Just For Kids”

During the month of April, we celebrated Poetry Month by creating original poems. Each student, created a booklet called “poetry Just For Kids” IT contained ten types of poetry. THEY TYPED ONE SELECTION TO READ FOR THIS POWERPOINT.

In order to prepare us for the writing process, We examined poetry written by various authors.

They learned how to analyze a poem in order to find its theme and how to count the number of

stanzas a poem contains. We looked at rhythm, rhyming, and rhyme scheme. It even helped us

when we were learning about similes.

We hope you enjoy listening to us read our original poems.

he barked too much in the dark,

 

He barks at people so many times,

It makes us wonder what he finds,

Playing Football is really fun,Sometimes you may play it in the sun,

When the quarterback throws, you catch the ball,and the people that cheer hope you do not fall,

People on the bleachers are really loud,but that’s only because they are really proud! Rowan Block

My Night

I saw the Ice cream man,In his truck using a fan,Cause it was so hot. I gave him a dime,It took a lot of time,So I waited for him. It really took a lot of time,And then he came back and gave me my dime,Because I didn’t see the sign that said, “Ice cream For Free.”

Are we friends,Or are we twins? Even if I don’t know your name,I think we are much the same. We can run in the sun, Trust me it will be fun, We can play all day,We can play in the hay,And we can swing the day away. Lilian Chacon
