Mi mamá escuchando la radio: The Sounds We Hear @ Darwin Elementary

For our third poetry session, the Darwin second graders and I discussed… bum ba da bum… sound! We talked about how using sounds can create a richness in your writing, and is another way to set a scene, and involve your reader. The first five weeks we will be working on different elements that make our writing strong. Today the students incorporated into their poems sounds they hear around them daily.

Mi mamá escuchando la radio
Mi familia y yo escuchamos películas.
Mi padre escucha música en el carro.
Yo escucho palomitas cocienandose
y haciendo pop pop y pop y pop y pop
Yo escucho la maestra hablar
Mi maestra escucha música

My mom listening to the radio
My family and I listening to movies
My dad listens to music in the car
I listen to popcorn cooking
and it makes pop pop and pop and pop and pop
I listen to my teacher talk
My teacher listens to music

Yo escucho la musica en la clase
Yo escucho un violín
Yo escucho un payaso hablando
Yo ecucho una campana
Yo escucho un piano
Yo escucho una bolsa
Yo escucho un perrito

I hear the music in class
I hear a violin
I hear a clown talking
I hear a bell
I hear a piano
I hear a bag
I hear a puppy

I hear ding ding ding ding when
I was in the hospital, I hear
drip drip drip drop when it
rains I hear wha wha wha
from my baby brother I
hear sizzling bacon I hear
thump thump thump from my
baby brother jumping I hear
wooh from the wind I
hear beep beep from the
cars I hear woosh from
the waves from the beach
I hear thunder from storms
I hear chicken

I hear by Kaylee Q.

I hear my sister talking loud
I hear the tv on
I hear the food
I hear my baby sister crying
I hear the door ringing
I hear my teacher Ms. Palacios talking
I hear the phone ring
I hear my friend talking
I hear lightening everywhere
I hear my mom talking
I hear rain everywhere
I hear people talking
I hear my cousin talking
