Color Poems: A Rainbow of Poetry

May 2nd, 2007

Welcome to Ms. Cristella’s Class Blog at TUFSDblogs.org! Currently featured on our class blog is “A Rainbow of Poetry.” We read Mary O’Neill’s Hailstones and Halibut Bones, a collection of color poems, and crafted our own poetry modeled after Mary O’Neill’s poetic style. As good writers, we used sensory language, strong juicy “wow” words, and visualization. Since part of being a good poet is being able to read poems with expression, we’ve included Podcasts so you can hear each student read aloud his/her poem. We hope you enjoy exploring our class blog and listening to our poetry!

    What an exciting way to make your students’ poetry come alive! They must be thrilled to see their work displayed in such an expressive way. Thank you for sharing their talent with us.

    I came home yesterday from work. I was met by Gavin running out of the house so excited about the poetry blog. It was the same kind of excitement you see on Christmas morning! Later in the evening he chose to go to his room to “write” more poems. Kudo for a job very well done!

    What a great idea. All the children did a excellent job writting their poem. You must be very proud of them, they are all excellent writters.
