This week in Ms. Murray’s 4th grade class, we read “Honey, I Love” by Eloise Greenfield and talked about all the things we love and don’t love. Some students noticed that the poem was similar to an ode, but instead of writing about just one thing, the author wrote about several things and celebrated each one and it’s unique qualities. Students then created a list of likes and dislikes. We talked about the similarities and differences between the things we loved, and how to create meaningful details about each thing they wrote down. After creating their list, students picked at least 5 things and got to work on writing an “I Love Poem” of their own. Enjoy this week’s poets!

Yo Amo
Ailyn C.
Yo amo mi mama y mi papa porque
son bien buenos y me cuidan muy
bien y me compran lo que yo
quiero y siempre me apoyan.
Siempre cuando estoy triste
intentan hablar con migo, o
me saben decir que paso o
si te sientes bien. Yo amo mi familia
porque siempre me apoyan mucho.
Yo amo la pizza porque tiene
queso con pepperoni, carne, y
muchos condimentos, yo amo la
comida Mexicana, amo los tacos
de carne, y los tacos que son bien
ricos y la comida china lo que
comen es rica.
Amo
Lucciano U.
Amo, amo cuando
veo anime como Naruto
Dragonball o Demon Slayer
Amo, amo y quiero a
mis amigos, como si
son familia
No amo cuando tengo que
hacer muchos mandados
de mi mama
No me gusta cuando
molestan o hablan mal
de mis amigos y familia
I Love
Wendy C.
I love family, friends, dogs, a whole
lot of things.
Like,
going to my cousin’s house and cats
Roblox, slime, and Robux
But I dislike lots of other
things,
like
vegetables, and beans, but I like
Mexican food.
I dislike not having roblox, and slime, and robux
I like my cousin’s dogs, and dislike
not seeing them and not going to
his house
I also dislike fake friends and worst of
all, I dislike death.
