Nettelhorst Dreamers

2nd graders at Nettelhorst considered many kinds of sleeping and waking dreams for our third meeting.  We read and discussed the poem “Which Way to Dreamland?” by Carole Boston Weatherford, which opens with the question “How in the world do dreams get in your head?” And, for fun, we also considered the possibility that humans are not the only beings that dream!

Dreams in my head Roger

How do dreams get
in my head?
how does Paris get
in my mind
the sign of the Eiffel
Tower!
how does candy get
in my mind
like a lollipop in
my mouth!
how do rivers get
into my mind
like the river flowing
in my mind!

Dreams Nikolas

how do dreams
get in my head? Maybe
there’s mites that crawl
into
dreams? Maybe the
water flows to
dreams? Maybe lava breaks
into
dreams? Maybe beavers
chomp into
dreams?

day dream Vivian

when I day dream
I think about red
dress dancers and
special performances
they do.  I hope to
be a red dress
dancer myself.

I usually day dream
so I am always thinking
so when I think
and day dream
I can almost feel
my feet moving!
moving to the beat!

How do dreams get in my head? Alex

the dragons creep to
my
soul
I close my eyes
then they
freeze
like a ice dragon
I start to become more
calm
in a fast lightning strike
if I do it too fast
nightmare dragons they chew through
my dreams then the dreams
die

Henry

How do dreams get
in my head? I close my eyes and
feel
an airplane taking
off.

It's raining food Linas

My hamster likes
to eat a lot.
strawberries, nuts
and sunflower seeds
raining from the
sky, food clouds come
rain clouds go, my
hamster’s dream
is raining food!

The dreams of the seasons (unfinished) Penelope W.

winter spring
summer fall
just one season
one
of all
I’m very tired
I can not rest
dreaming of spring
when birds
build nests.

chilly winter
turns to spring
when the wind chimes
go ding ding
and something
makes weather warm
spring.

the dream Julian

once I was sleeping
and I dreamed I was
playing football and a
hurricane made out of
spaghetti came and
a huge ball of spaghetti
came flying and hit
my head then I woke
up! I called it the
DREAM.

Tigers eat me! Lizzie

When I
sleep
I see
a tiger
it tries
to eat
me.
I see
a whisker
I try
to run
a while
and I
got ate.

Hello Kitty and Her Friends Come to My House Nina

I imagine that Hello
Kitty and her friends come
to my house and
we go to the
park and it was hot so we got
ice cream and then we
went back to my
house and played tennis
and went to the
store and bought a
lot of toys
a lot of toys
I wish this
was not a dream.

Pink Candyland Julieta

Where am I?
open
eyes
Pink candy
everywhere
look around
ground is
pink jelly
house is
pink
cotton
candy
Pink candy land.

Getting Lost Fatimah

My heart was beating as fast
as
a cat chasing a
rat to a car in the garage
when I woke up
from my dream
“I had a
dream
not a normal
one
a scary
one”
I said
when I
woke up.

Where are my dreams? Aaron

Where are my
dreams
searching through
my brain
waiting for
the seeds
to pop
swimming through
scenes of
my life
or just
random things
trying to pick
one but I
can’t
where are
my dreams?

 

Robots Evelyn

why are robots invading my house?
my mom not helping me
a fox helping me out of here
why no noise?
dreams can be weird  like that
thank god our dreams don’t repeat
and this poem won’t repeat.
