Poetry Club

Here at Dike Newell we have been celebrating Poetry Month with sharing poems each morning and putting poems in our pockets. I had the pleasure of working with two groups of first and second graders in poetry club after school each Wednesday this month. We shared poems, explored different types of poetry, wrote poems and tried out different ways to perform poems.

 Here is a sampling of some of the poems we created: 

 Mud 

 Muddy, Muddy, Mud 

Squished between my toes

 mud slippery mud 

 Spring

 spring is magical 

bright, sunny green grass smells fresh

 rain brings mud to play

 Books 

information, adventure

 looking, reading, dreaming 

let’s go to the library

 If I were a bug, 
i run away 
I am busy, busy, can’t stop
 fizzling 
fate in every step 

 by Tenny 

 If I were a bug,
 I would give your hair a tug. 
 Tug with some help
 from another bug.. 
 And I’d say 
hay, hay 
I just got a tug
 from a bug.
