Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

Fall Haiku by Cooper

Just let the leaves swipe.
Tall, brown trees say good-bye.
Crunch, crunch, crunch they go.

Haiku by Victor

Snowmen are out there.
The snowy owl eats mice.
It's December now.

"Tree Root" by Jonathan

How many times
have you fell on your knee
because of a root
that came from a tree?
I'm going to ask if
it can be cut down.
Listen, you tree,
you're making me frown.

A Poem by Karina C. and Clarissa N.

There was a leprechaun
named Jamie
who had a baby.
She had a bottle
that had a friddle.
She fell on it
and broke her leg.

Haiku by Taylon

Dodgeball, you hurt bad.
I hate you dodgeball. You hurt.
Just leave me alone.

A Poem by Ms. Kasen's 2nd graders

Ms. Kasen's kids wrote a diamante poem during their library time to celebrate Poetry month. It was a collaborative effort and we had a lot of fun writing it! Enjoy!

Robots

by Ms. Kasen's class


Robots,

creepy, smart,

beeping, humming, dancing.

Spaceships, factories, transformers, metal-

marching, speaking, blinking,

bald, funny,

machines.

Mr. Popper's Penguins Movie

Jim Carrey is starring in a movie version of Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater. Check the book out from the library and read it before you see it. Looks like it's going to be a good one!
