Tales from Tuesday



Alyssa did a great job reading MMMM, Cookies by Robert Munsch. She chose this book because it's funny and it certainly was! The video may not be up until tomorrow night, but you will be able to listen then to hear this great reading!



We also had a mystery reader: Sofia's mom. She read a poem about Casey BACK at Bat! This fit right in with our study of poetry.

Here are few poems the kids have written. These are just their first tries at them and they are ALL off to a GREAT start! I can only imagine what their writing will be like as we learn more about poetry!

Sequoia Trees
by: Ryan

Tall, wide
Big from all the years alive.
Black spots from scalding fires.
Big, big, Seguoia Trees


Rain and Hail
by: Isabella

Drip, drop, drip, drop
I can hear the rain
Drip, drop.
It sounds like marbles hitting the ground
Drip, drop
In comes the hail...Boom! Boom!
It sounds like thunder...almost like the rain..
all together, it makes a loud sound.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Rain
by: Grier

So soft,
so quiet,
tap, tap, tap,
softly on your window.
Tap, tap, tap...softly

Glue
by: Nicole

Icky, Icky,
Stickey, Sticky,
I come in a bottle
and sticks, too!
You might not like me,
But I sure do help you!

Number Grid
by: Natalie

123, 321,
The number grid helps you count
by two's,
by ten's,
15, 10, 5....5, 10, 15
I'm a number grid.

Lightening
by: Neel
Lightening is light
from the shadows of the night.
From the might of lightening
You might fight.

What GREAT poets they are becoming!

Have a GREAT night!
