When You Are Nothing You Can Be The Wind

The second graders investigated their classroom for objects to personify. If the books suddenly came alive, what would they do? What would they say? We cast a magic spell over the room and brought these normally quiet objects to life!

2nd Grade

Nothing… by Max G.

When you are nothing
You can be the wind
and you get to
go everywhere in
the Earth

Tree by Uriel C.

The tree
dances and sings
The tree dares
the car
The tree texts
in the pool

Flags by Pablo S.

Flags can walk
everywhere
Flags can dance
Flags can drive
Flags can run
fast, Flags
can play
basketball
Flags can
hide, Flags
can play hide
and seek, Flags
can sing, Flags
can play music

Plant by Daniel M.

Walks on its leaves.
Talks. It jumps. It dances,
runs. Waves “hi.”

Dogs by Fernanda

Dogs are not humans but
when you imagine dogs look
like humans, he will say
thanks for food,
he is my friend
