What does a perfect weekend look like to you? This week we read Pat Mora’s “To Do List” and came up with our own poems using the structure of a list poem. In her piece Mora describes a fabulous weekend filled with favorite food, friends and music. After discussing some things that they enjoy doing during their ideal weekend, students got to work on their own list poems. Enjoy this weeks poems!

On Friday
Ayden S.
- On Friday I just want the day to be over.
- When I get back from school, I quickly rush to my devices.
- I play video games knowing I’m free for two days.
- By Saturday morning I look for my elf on the shelfs.
- They can be easy to find, I go back to my bed and try to sleep a bit more.
- On Sunday I try not to think about having school the next day.
- I normally pet my dog on Sundays, since I’m bored.
- At night, I get mad since I have school tomorrow!

My To Do List for the Weekend
- Saturday morning, I get out of my heavy blanket and brush my teeth until they’re shiny clean, get dressed bien pipires nice to go to my church classes.
- By Sunday, I’m so tired from the day before regretting sleeping until 3am, but then remember I get to paint my sister’s face because she fell asleep first.

My Weekend
Avi
- On Friday I get out of school and go to the library where I smell the fresh smell of books.
- I’ll go home and watch all the TV I want and eat all the corn chips till I have to go to bed.
- On Saturday morning, I get up and do my homework from Friday, because who wants to do homework on Fridays?
- After homework I watch more TV till I have to go to breakdance class.
- At breaking I practice my windmills and spin around just like a real windmill.
- On Sunday morning I go out for breakfast and order a hot chocolate with a mountain of whipped cream.
To Do List
Cahmil
- On Friday I come home and finish all my math and reading homework snd play video games when I’m done.
- On Saturday I wake up to my alarm that I keep forgetting to turn off.
- After I get up I’m super grumpy because I woke up after that crazy loud alarm, then I take a sec and just sit on my bed for like five minutes.
- I get up to brush my teeth. The minty flavor of the toothpaste just makes my eyes water, and my brother comes and thinks I’m crying.
- On Sunday morning I have the best of my life and get woken up by my sisterto come and eat, but I was having the best dream. I was dreaming about having the biggest burger and fries, and pizza
