My Poem

I read this great poem today-I have to work on letting my writer's have their say (not mine)

IT'S MY POEM

I wrote it.
You read it.
You like it
Or not.

If not
Then you leave it.
But don't you rewrite it.

They're my words.
I chose them.
I wrote it.
I lived it.

You leave it
Alone.

Limericks

We are writing limericks in writing. Here are two written by Rachel that are sure to make you smile.


There once was a rooster named Bens
He had about fifteen hens
They clucked all night
Because they saw a terrible sight
A shadow of a fish with too many fins!



There once was a bird named Bee
who was missing his left knee
he hobbled around
and jumped at the sound
of a big, brown, falling tree.

Halloween Poetry Fun

Halloween

When terrifying ghosts rule the night
And the streets are filled with fright
All darkness without a light
This is Halloween night

When bloodthirsty monsters roam
And haunted house ghosts call home
And zombies with their mouths all filled with foam
This is Halloween night

With ghosts and goblins all about
They make you want to scream and shout
When Halloween is out
With costumes, candy, treats galore
That leave you wanting more
You will not sleep, you will not snore
This is good ol’ Halloween’s roar!

Writing Workshop

Our writing workshop is up and running. Students have really been doing some creative writing this week. Here is a video that will give you a peek into our classroom during share time. We are still working on giving helpful feedback to our classmates. We have learned about dialogue, good endings, descriptive language, and much more. Let us know what you think.
