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.

Me

By Michael

 

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.

What I Am Like

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!
