Last week, we welcomed spring break’s embrace with a fun poetry session. We started with a game where students each received a new identity. Each student asked silly questions (Are you yellow? Do you have a clubhouse?) to find their pair. Once Scooby found Shaggy and Macaroni found Cheese, each pair worked together to write a poem. There were so many great pair poems from our group; read below for some of my favorites.
Moon and Sun
Yamarion G. and Davion B.
I’m as dark as night
I’m as bright as a light
and as high as a kite
so let the moonlight shine
so let the daylight shine
we both roam in space
but we can’t fly
maybe if we try
we can come by
but we never lie
Pancakes and Syrup
Rahkeem H. and Kai A.
Syrup is sweet and brown
Pancakes are brown and white
Bussen Bussen/Good
In the morning and at night
Day and Night
Antonio E. and Ariyona G.
Light like the sun
Dark like the color black
Wake up in the morning
Sleep at night
We both have light
