A Few More Poems

Skiing 
By Teagan
First you get your skis on
Next you get on the chairlift
at the top get off
Then you go down the mountain
Doing rails and tricks and jumps and glades

Blue
By Logan
Looks like a whale
Feels like a chair
Sways like raindrops
Blue

Rainbow
By Zoey C
I taste a red strawberry
I taste an orange
I taste a yellow banana
I see a green leaf
I see a blue blueberry
I taste a purple plum
I see a pink pig

Sleep 
By Simon
It's nice like hibernation
Time to rest
Time to re-energize
Nothing to fear
Night night now

Snow
By Naima
Deep snow
You run
You run
And then you fall
You try again
And you fall again
You try again and again

Green 
By Addi
I love green
It reminds me of summer
It smells like fresh grass
It tastes like kiwi
It feels like a smooth leaf
It sounds like trees blowing in the wind
It looks like a creeper...PCHOO!

First Grade Poems 

Birds
By Savannah
Birds chirp and chirp and fly
Swoop 
Grab a mouse
Many birds around the world


Sea Glass
By Zoey M
Sparkles, smooth, clear, soft
It's sea glass
Bright
Different colors
Love
It can be light
Or it could be dark
Because it's sea glass


Snow

Fun
Fluffy cotton ball
Shimmery and sparkly
Out of my way
Here I come!

Blue
By Ellie
Blue is the color of blueberries
I see blue everywhere
I taste blueberries
I smell blue when I color
My favorite color is blue

Four Winds
The first graders learned about Owls during this month's Four Winds lesson. They learned how the eyes, ears, feathers, feet and digestive system help these nighttime hunters. They listened to owl calls and investigated owl pellets to gather clues about their diet. Thank you Fred and Terry for leading this month's lesson!

Poetry
We started another writing unit this week. First graders are learning how to see the world through "poets' eyes". They are working on using their senses to describe objects.

Four Winds
The first graders learned about birds today. They learned about different types of feathers and how they help birds. The children also closely examined individual feathers to see and learn about the different parts.  Thank you Lauren and Eric for leading this month's lesson!
