“Park to-go then space to-go.” – Direction Poems @ Moos Elementary

Today at Moos, we wrote directional poems! We started the day by drawing our houses, wrote real and imaginary directions to them, and then combined the two types of directions to make our poems! We had fun seeing how we can transport ourselves in different ways.

Skateboarding Chris L.

Skateboard down the mountain.
Land in the snow, dog comes
and licks me. So we do it again
and I name him Sparkey. Sparkey follows
me everywhere. I like it so much, someone
likes him too.

My Way Fernando B.

Park to-go then space to-go.
School to-go then Uranus to-go.
School-to-work, back, go.
Space-to-straight, go.
Park-to-left, go.
Uranus-to-right, go.

Crazy Directions Destiny D.

Turn right and sing a song.
Turn left and turn in the snow.
Turn right on Mikwaukee and then fly in the air.
Turn right and keep going and sing a song from the 80s.
Go straight to the park and go up the hill of ice cream.
Turn left on the green light and in the sky.

Ms. Willis 3rd Grade

The House Goes Backwards Aniyah A.

Turn right at the house, go backwards
to the hampster, turn left to the cat.
Go forward to the giraffe.
Go forward to the cupcake.
Go backwards to the lake.

Untitled Tatianna A.

Go out the window.
Go on top of the roof.
Take the ladder down.
Go back inside to eat pizza.

Vampires & Pigeons Eliyah M.

Go left, go straight.
Stop, turn right.
Stop at the vampire, turn left at the pigeon.
Stop at my house,
ask him to give you a ride.
