Class Poems

We have had a blast reading and writing poems for poetry month.  Below you can read a few of the poems we have written as a class.  Ask your child to share with you about some of the poems they have written.

Spring
Hot sunny day
Green grass
Pretty flowers
People playing
Birds chirping
Digging with a shovel
We love spring!

Easter
Sparkly eggs
Soft bunnies
Glittery clothes
Yummy candy
Sweet Chocolate
Easter is fun.

Winter
Snowy day
Cold wind
Making snowmen
White snow
Kids play
Slippery ice
Kids skating
Sledding down
I like winter.

Diamond
I am small.  I am soft
I am happy.
I like to play.
I like to bark.
I play tug-of-war with socks.
I run fast.
I love people.
