‘Un sieto ques muy/Bien para mi’: Odes and Pablo Neruda

This week we go to our happy places, courtesy Pablo Neruda. We start with Neruda’s beautiful poem, “Ode to Enchanted Light.” In our dual language classes, we read it in both the original Spanish and English translation. I ask students to think about a place outside that gives them a sense of peace in the world, and to then to write their own poem in that style. This is also the very first week that we learned about stanzas! So help me celebrate the students in trying out their new skills!

The Tree - Jonelly Melendez

In the springtime
By the tree there is
A place that is very
Good to me
The tree is green
And it lives in the blue
Sky I am
There is a heart
In the tree

Ode to Beach by Andy A.

The water worm
There’s rocks in the sand
___The water is blue.
The animals at the beach

I like the beach
I like the bears
I like the pool.

I like the school.
I like my friends
I like my teacher
