Tech committee
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!
You can visit Ted Scheu’s website at www.poetryguy.com

The children at John Paulding were recently visited by poet, Ted Scheu. Ted worked with each class talking about writing poetry. He led the students in writing their own In the Mirror poem. We edited those poems and are publishing them here for all to see! Notice the students use of similes…yet again, it is hard to believe they are first graders!!! We are so proud! Enjoy!

I see my eyes like drops of brown, gummy bears and chocolate cookies.
I see my gums like big bubble gum pieces surrounded by marshmallows.
I see my nose with a chocolate sprinkle and my lips look like a wave of red.
 I see my eyes like brownie balls and my teeth like marshmallows.
I feel surprised, happy and handsome.

Welcome to our class blog! The students have done such amazing writing during our poetry unit we thought we’d share it with the world! The students wrote and edited their poems, their teachers helped with the typing and recording. It’s hard to believe they are just first graders! We will continue to post more of our work to this site. Keep checking and please leave us comments about what you have read and heard. Happy reading!Â

Green is like crocodiles swimming
Green is grass growing
Green is snakes crawling
Green is a lizard sitting.
Green makes me feel great!
