This week we’re exploring sound poems. Some sounds already have words, but others don’t, and I encouraged the students to invite sound words where needed. Students considered the sounds at home, at school, and in Chicago.

Whoosh! Bang! Tap!
Jacinda F.
A whoosh happens when
someone runs down the halls
A bang happens when
someone hits their rock carton
A tap! sound happens when
someone hits their pencil against their desk
Sounds In The City
Christian D.
The heart sounds like dup-dup-dup
The train sounds like sherh-sherh
The snake sounds like si-si-si-si
The kitchen sounds like a ZOO
The TV sounds like the forest
The cows sound like muu-muu
The ocean sounds like the wind

In the city the cars honk
and beeeep beeeep
In the school the bell
goes ding ding ding
If you stop then you hear
stop stop stop
The cars go vroom
Old ladies hobble
Dobeep from a big truck
When dogs bark they
go Wolf! Wolf!
Monsters go roar
Lions go roooooar
