Wind whistles through trees
Dogs barking down the hill
Voices chatter by the wall
Children writing all around
Laughter floats
Trucks rumble
Hair rises
Children write
Sun shining through white clouds
Water flows from melting islands
Nasty smells nearby swirl
Children writing all around
Tires squeak
Keys rattle
Rocks tumble
Children write
Neat poem! I'm trying to figure out if your class went outside or had a window open? So much inferencing potential!!
ReplyDeleteWe were outside.
DeleteBeautiful poem :)
ReplyDeleteChildren write while everything around them.
Wendy, did you write this poem while the children were writing?
Best.

I did!
DeleteIn this poem, you’re noticing the world around you just as your students are hopefully writing about it. Neat poem!
ReplyDeleteGreat word picture of the setting, but the real picture was those flying pencils and bent heads.
ReplyDeleteYou use words with such precision. Beautiful!
