Third-grade students in Ms. Descoteau’s class at Center Woods Elementary have studied poetry during remote learning. The first read poetry, then practiced reading a poem fluently, and, finally, wrote their own poems. Here are a sample:
My favorite food is pizza
It is hot and so delicious
Made in a triangle shape
Covered in toppings
Pepperoni is my fav
Covered in sauce
Hot and cheesy
Crispy crust
Eat pizza
Every
Day
M!
There once was a little blue snake named Jake
He liked to bake tasty cakes and concoctions
He lived in a shoe outside kalamazoo
Where he escaped cobra jail with no options
Flushing toxic cake down the loo
Was a crime so outrageous
For it was contagious
And full of sea snails green goo
He slithered his way through some tight jagged rocks
To avoid breaking the tough prison locks
Thats where he found shelter in hedgehog den
Never ever to be seen again
I once saw a possum that plays soccer at school
He was really fast and it was sort of cool.
The bell rang and we went inside
The possum beat us to the lunch line.
After lunch was writing time
The possum made a rhyme.
Now it was time to go home
The possum played alone.
