Lesson Note: This week, we practiced similes and metaphors. We wrote some odes and then some “I Am” poems. All the students blew me away with their imaginations. Take a look at a few of the published poems!
Mrs. Chester, 4th Grade
Ode to Green
by Joshua W.
You are green as a frog
You are green as a pickle
You are green as seaweed in a sea
You are green as a stick
You are green as a tree
Ode to Santa
by A’rroni E.
You are amazing because
you bring gifts for me
and you travel all over the world
and you eat a billion cookies
Ode to My Mom
by Te’vion C.
Mom, I love the way you look
my mom can cook
You make me feel warm inside.
Ode to Tree
by Jamir
Trees, trees big and tall
sometimes small but I don’t care
at all, tall and green with cool colors
Still very tall, please don’t chop
them all. This is my message
for all the littles like honey bees,
raccoons and others.
I wish to be a tree
sway around in the wind,
stuck to the ground with lots
of leaves. But they will go in the
winter under the snow.
There will be no more color but
still some trees. I hope they don’t
go goodbye. The trees will forever
be my home.
I Am
by Zoie H.
I am a floating rainbow.
I Am
by Shawndale T.
I am strong
I am smart
I am intelligent
I am excellent
I am proud
I am an excellent player
I am a basketball
I am a football
I Am
by Tyrand B.
I am a shark because I got a lot
of teeth but fall out
I am a heart, I am
my mom’s heart
I am a bright star to my mom and dad
and I am a sun I am their son
I Am
by Ariel A.
I am the clouds in the sky
I am the sun to my rainbow
I am the frosting to my cake
I am the heart to my dad
I am a girl by day and a princess by night
I Am at the Beach
by Kamyra
I am a baby turtle finding a way home
I am the waves on the beach
I am a whale looking for fish
I am a mama turtle looking for my baby turtle
I am the sand on the beach
I am a star, people look out at me on the beach
I am me
I am the whole beach with people having fun
