Rhyme and Pattern – Avondale Logandale 5th Grade – Fall 2019

Students in Ms. Pannell’s 5th-grade classes spent two sessions working on rhyme and creative writing.
The first-week students worked on rhyming patterns, learned brainstorming techniques and used examples from music to write original poems.
The second week they used these skills to write Winter poems as part of a larger class project.

My Tree Hannah G.

I see my tree,
With candy canes
And grab my key
I run outside with some tea
I have a sister her name is Bree
She says she’s going to Italy
I ask, what did you see?
She looked at me
And said I’m free
Then I turned and spilled my tea
In no time I had to leave.
Only to put up my Christmas tree

Joseph G.

I am cold
I’ve been told
Like the snow
I am bold
Like the game mate
I’ve been trolled

Nevaen D.

I’m going to the grocery store
I don’t know what for
But in the sunshine
Everybody’s looking fine

Benjamin Y.

If you have cheese gimme please.
Give it standing up or on your knees.
If you don’t give me cheese.
You will get bees.

Nala P.

Amazing is just for my savings
But only when I’m having cravings
But nice is only for a price
Only when I’m rolling the dice
When I hear I find out who is near
Then I fall in fear
And then I cheer
I find my pet dear
And he was only clear

Henry A.

I dash through the crash
Like flash
I bash
My door open to my secret stash

Fish

Edith M.


I saw a fish
Cleaning a dish
And eating a wish
Also talking to another fish
And his name is stitch

Omar F.

Winter is like kinder
Snow is like wonder
Snowflakes are like colder
Winter is so snowier
Snow is slower
Snowflakes are killer

Abygail P.

I found a cute bunny.
He is very funny.
He gave me some money.
But the bunny is very muddy.
I gave him a bath that was very bubbly.
The bunny is now very fluffy.

Jonathan S.

There is a tree
That has a bee
Instead of one there is three
That I could see
They say wee
They are free

Itzel C.

One of my family members has a space between her teeth aka. a gap
A dog sitting on my brother’s lap
Looking for my cub’s baseball cap
Looking for that space tab
The scientist’s lab
Set up the rat trap
The Dora the Explorer map
Tap – tap – tap
The famous rap

Alissa L.

I’m running out of time!
I get to the bus outside
When I get back I rhyme
SO I can write all these lines
Now it’s dinner time!
I eat some tacos with some lime
When I rhyme I feel fine
So I can have a good time!
Ugh its bedtime.

Carina L.

It is winter
I’ll get a splinter
Let’s go quicker
I’m getting sicker
It will be winter

Levi V.

It was winter and I saw my friend Mitler
Then I got a splinter
And got sicker
And wanted a sticker
