Factory of Fun Ideas Pt. 1

Last week 2nd graders at Swift welcomed Mr. McCaster and tried their hand at joining unexpected things together to make “Swan of Bees” poems. Some students selected favorites of the four types of poems they have written so far to read aloud to their classmates while sitting in Ms. Amato’s reading chair. This week we will “flip the script” and some students will have a sharing day while others will write “Swan of Bees” styled poems. Enjoy!

I would like to have…
a book made of feathers
a desk filled with Sweelson
a lion using expensive hair-gel
Sweelson jumping in the window
a mouse riding Sweelson!

I would like to have…
a rocket ship that can reach further than space
a world that dreamers come to dream
a world where
the black and brown skin
can live in harmony
with white skin.

a dream world filled
