Lesson Note: This week, we drew places that were special or significant, and then we wrote poems about those places. We learned that writing poems about a piece of art is an ekphrastic poem. We also incorporated onomatopoeias, which are words that sound exactly like the sound they make!

My Favorite Bedroom
by Luis O.
I love my bed because
I get to throw my head
and my cat loves hats
and he goes meow and
I love drinking Sprite
and when I open it goes tsssssk.
My Auntie’s House
by Tiffane R.
At my auntie’s house
you can hear
the pan sizzling with oil.
You can see my god-sisters
fighting over who gets what.
You can taste the food from the pan,
feel the fluffy carpet on your hands.
Wing Stop
by Rosalia R.
Wing Stop is my favorite place
I love the wings
My mom used to work there
I knew everybody since I was 6 years old
My childhood right there
You can add hot sauce to your fries.

My Messy Room
by Daqwan W.
My name is Daqwan
You might know me.
My room is so messy
it needs to be cleaned.
Mom tells me every day
but I disobey. She begs and
begs but I say later.
I think I’m starting to be a hater.
My room is so messy,
it needs to be cleaned.
My Home
by Jourden and Jayden P.
My dog is barking and
mom is cooking my favorite meal.
Baked pork chops and macaroni and cheese.
The chicken is sizzling.
The cake smells like apple pie.
My dogs love playing with each other.
I hear my mom laughing
and talking with her friends.
My Sister’s House
by Giana F.
Screaming, cooking, cleaning and playing
The house is as clean as a brand new home
So many pictures just like a photo gallery
but when I enter my nephew’s room…
it’s a disaster. I try to clean
but he comes right back
and messes it up.
He can NEVER keep his room clean!
