For their twentieth week, Hale 3-5th grade poets treated themselves to tasty recipe poems. Recipe poems are usual written using cooking/baking terms and measurements. On Tuesday we read the poem, “How To Be A Teacher,” by a 2nd grade Swift Elementary student named Gustavo S.M. In his poem Gustavo includes special ingredients to create a recipe for teaching. Mix 25 years of joy of learning /Add 12 cups of energy and many books to read. Together we wrote a group recipe poem for making a Hale Elementary student.
On Wednesday we read another student poem titled, “Recipe For Happiness,” by 5th grader Mitzielys T. from Avondale-Logandale Elementary. Mitzielys makes a delicious poem by adding in things that bring her happiness. Add cups of love, 1 barrel of patience/ 3 cups of forgiveness. Students wrote anonymous individual recipe poems. Then we played a game, called “Guess Who’s Recipe,” to see which recipe poem belonged to a specific student.
It was also Ms. Degiulio’s birthday this week, who is not only amazing teacher, but so helpful to our after school poetry club. Wish her a Happy Birthday and try out some of these recipe poems.
