Insiprational Poetry!

John Paulding was recently visited by Ted Scheu a professional poet. Ted did a super presentation for all the students and then visited classrooms to work directly with our first graders. He taught the students about similes and metaphors, pretty big concepts for first graders! He then inspired them to use like and as in their own poetry. The students each completed the poems they started with Ted. We edited them for 3- 5 words we knew were spelled incorrectly, read them to buddies, and Mrs. Chulla & Ms. Bart (our student teacher) typed them. They are posted here for all to see! We hope you enjoy them!

I am as funny as a comedy guy.

I swim as good as a penguin.

I do activities like a koala.

I play in spring like a butterfly.

I am as tough as a rhinoceros.

I am as big as a tiger shark.

I can bite as hard as a crocodile.

I am as small as a baby tuna fish.

I am as fast as a cheetah.

I am as quiet as a worm eating peanut butter.

I can dance as silly as a penguin.

I can fly like an eagle.

I can sing like a hummingbird.

I laugh like a laughing hyena.

I can watch you like a falcon.

I am as fast as a hawk.

I am slithery like a snake.

I am smart as a parrot.

I am as lazy as a sleepy bear.

Sometimes I am as jumpy as a frog.

I am as strong as a gorilla.

Sometimes I am as wild as a crazy monkey.

I am as cool as a snake.

I am as gentle as a giraffe

and I am as scary as a monster!

Our Important Poems

Posted on January 25th, 2008 by chulla.
Categories: Important Poems .

We have been learning about attributes in Science.  We read The Important Book and Another Important Book both by Margret Wise Brown to learn about how she describes both objects and people using attributes.  Then we brainstormed, wrote and edited poems about our important attributes.  We started by writing one about our classroom and another about Mrs. Chulla.

The Important Thing about

School

is that we learn.

 

We have a classroom and teachers,

Eat snack,

Go to Library, Music, PE and Art,

Have recess,

Take the bus,

Do homework,

Read books,

Do math,

Have visitors.

There is a principal.

We have friends,

And go home.

 

But

The most important thing about

school

is that we learn!
