Watermelon


Sweet, juicy, bright and fun

A summer day is not complete without one

Its juicy flesh is as pink as cotton candy

This succulent fruit taste quite dandy

Sweet as pure sugar touching your tongue

Eating this fruit will make you feel young

Give me a watermelon alongside the bay

And I will be happy throughout the day

So Much Depends Upon…

So much depends upon my hand painted coffee mug

The swirly sea foam green mug comes to use in all seasons

In the spring it holds savory sweet tea

In the summer it holds ice-cold lemonade

In the fall it holds warm, crisp apple cider, and

In the winter it holds hot chocolate with

Floating clouds of marshmallows

I Poetry

I find I Poetry as being something very important to incorporate into the classroom. I Poetry is written in first person and you have to follow a set of criteria. It allows children to use their imagination and have fun with writing poetry. It deepens students understanding of a specific setting, character or plot. I Poetry has children think about the deeper meanings of certain things. It gives children a specific imagery and descriptive language to use. When I am a teacher I want to publish my students I Poetry poems into a classroom poetry book. I think this is very important, because students love to see their final published work. I liked reading over the I Poetry power point because it gave many examples of actual students work. It was great to see what progress they make over time. Overall, I feel that I Poetry is very important and is something that the students will love to do. I cannot wait to use this in my own classroom.
