Our Sense of Place Poems!!

Dear Families,

Thanks so much for coming to Open House.  It was wonderful to meet each of you, and to see your children so eager to show you their work.
I hope you have been able to access the blog site for our class.  Each child's poem  has now been posted.  The  assignment  was to create a poem about a special place which could be real or imagined.  The children focused on using repetition and rhythm. Having the poem rhyme was not required, though many of the children were able to come up with a few rhyming lines.  The children used their senses to think of  descriptive phrases.  We hope you enjoy reading them all.   Again, the blog site address is:

Please  leave  your  child  a  comment, and  share  the  site  with  other  extended  family  members  far  and  wide.  The  children  love  an  audience.

Out My Bedroom Window by Emma A.

I  see  the  sun,

And  the  birds,

And  the  trees, too.

I  hear  birds  chirping,

And  people  talking,

And  TV  and  music, too.

I  feel  the  hot  sun,

And  the  soft  breeze.

I  smell  the  clean  air,

And  my  perfume,  too.

Looking  out  my  bedroom  window

Is  the  place  I  want  to  be.

Pierce Lake by Wylie

I  love  the  lake.

I  love  it!

The  water  is  blue.

It's  for  you.

I  want  to  swim  in  it.

It  is  warm.

It  is  fun!

The  fish  are  faster

Than  the  sun. 

Camping in the White Mountains by Marshall

I  can  see  bright  blue  sky,

White  fluffy  clouds,

Tall green trees,

Our  red  tent,

And mountains  far  away.

I  can  hear  birds  peeping,

Waterfalls  splashing,

The wind  blowing.

The White  Mountains,

A  place  I  love  to  go!

Camping in Maine by Isis

I  see  green  trees.

I  see  white  clouds.

I  hear  birds  chirping.

I  hear  people  laughing.

I  see red  tents.

I  see  the  playground.

I  feel  my  soft  blankets.

I  smell  bacon  and  eggs 

Cooking  over  the fire.

Camping  in  Maine  is  fun. 

Peach's Castle by Joey

MARIO, MARIO!  The fireworks cracking,

Peach saying MARIO, MARIO, 

Help! Help! Help!

Jr. Bowser trying to get MARIO,

MARIO saying, but you can't get me!

Peach crying at the top of her lungs,

MARIO, MARIO!

Help! Help! Help!

Peak's Island by Emma S.

First  you  have  to  go  to  Maine.

Then   you  have  to  talk  to  a  lady.

Then  you  have  to  buy  a  ticket.

Then  you  have  to  get  on  a  boat.

Then  you  see  the  blue, blue  ocean  all  around.

Then  you see the  tall, tall  hotels.

Then  you  take  a short, short  walk to  the  beach.

Then  you  feel  the  hot, hot  sand.

Then   you  feel  the  cold, cold  water.

Then  your  lips  turn  blue, blue,

But,  I  love  to  go  to  Peak's  Island.

It's  the  place  I  love  the  best!
