Focus On Writing

Our third graders have been learning about different forms of poetry from their teacher, Amanda Wallrich.

I would like to share two samples of their poetry. The first is acrostic poetry in which the students select a word and use the word’s letters to create a poem:

Memorare
Admirable
Rainbow
You have faith
—By Tsenat
 
Color poetry using metaphors and similes:

Green is plants growing in the spring.
Green is the feeling of God.
Green is the smell of fresh air.
Green is the sound of a sad ending.
—By Terrance
 
All classrooms prepared something for their Mothers to celebrate last weekend’s Mother’s Day. I found this note to a Mom very touching.

Dear Mom,

My heart blooms for you because you are
caring and you give me food and shelter.
You brought me to this caring school.
 
Love, Kirubel
