For the first session of our Fall 2019 Poetry Residence we read Eve L. Ewings “notebook kid”.
We reviewed poetry elements like line, stanza, rhyme, comparison, and similies.
Ms. Pannell’s 5th graders then wrote creative poems describing a day in their life.

A Day in My Life
Deanthony
I wake up
I hop out of my bed
Take a long breath of air and pick up
A Day in My Life
Stephanie
I go to the kitchen and get chocolate milk
I walk to school I see cars and the bump in holes in the ground
“Bum, bum” “bum,bum”
I go to volleyball
I like it because of the sound when it bounces
When I get in school my heart beats fast for volleyball
When I get to math class I feel tired
I want to sleep
A Day in My Life
Salvador A.
My favorite subject is reading and science
I have a dog and its still a puppy
My favorite sport is volleyball
My pattern is
home school
home school
home school
My favorite season is summer
because we can play outside with my friends
and we don’t have school
that’s why I love summer break
I also love school because our teachers are the best
she makes me happy
I love to learn
that’s why school is important
I love school
I also love poetry

Un Dia En Mi Vida
Franklin L.
Yo estoy orgulloso de ver a mis padres
durante tanto tiempo
ha sido 10 anos
esos 10 anos he vivido con mis abuelitos
pero no me gusta llamarlos abuelitos
me gusta decir mami o papi
ellos me hacian mucha comida deliciosa
y si no ibamos a un restaurante
ahi comiamos un platano con queso
aso me hacia sentir bien
todos los dias tambien ibamos a vender
juntos en muchas ciudades
ademas me pusieron en una escuela
y ahi estudiaba dibujo
A Day in My Life

Yo whats up kid who comes school
kid who goes to taekwondo and gets yelled at and does 100 pushups
kid who goes to area 51 and naruto runs
kid who wakes up and says “mama quieres que te lave los trastes?”
kid who likes to do math
kid who thought as a little kid you did a crime for stealing a rock
kid who needs a gas mask because asando chile
kid who cries when he cant get his way
Un Dia en Mi Vida
Stalin M.
me voy a despertar y voy a comer un helado
después me voy a jugar en el parque con mis amigos
Y después me voy a mi casa para comer en la tarde

A Day in My Life
Dylan V.
When I wake up in the morning
I’m tired
When I wake up my favorite food is crepas
I always go to my room
it looks like I’m in a big jail
When I run I think of myself as a cheetah
When I go to a field I think that I am free
I want to be a soccer player
When I do poetry I think of my feeling
When I am sad I am rainclouds
When I feel mad I’m a volcano
A Day in My Life
Brayan A.
All the days when I wake up
the first thing I see is the sun
Shiny and bright
the moon getting away
Smelling the delicious drink that I love in the morning
the coffee with cookies
then in the afternoon the sun getting away
in the night
I see the beautiful moon and stars
then sleeping in my comfy bed
A Day in My Life
Adamaris S.
Sunshine rushing through a window
Reading amulet on a busy car ride
getting to my aunt and uncles house
Hey, let’s get back on the road
Going to see my cousins from Iowa
I peek out the window
I see cows and farms and the plains
Hours and hours go by
Never-ending road
made by many stops for food and bathroom
Finally, we spot the house
we say hi to my cousins or one day
The next day we go back home.
