Welcome to our Buffet!

I am experimenting with a new element to the Reading
Restaurant this year. In addition to the wonderful fare offered by the students
here in the classroom, I would like to invite you to read and listen to the
students reading some of their writing online.


I encourage you to post a comment
when you are through. I will be walking about throughout our time together to
support you with this endeavor. You can also access this from home, and extended
family and friends can view, listen, and post a comment as well.


Thank you for your help in making
this possible!

Eli's Poems:

April
April is when summer is coming and school ends
We play with friends
The dogs play outside and we play and catch frogs!

Green Grass
Green grass you know it is April
When green grass grows
And frogs croak for mates
Animals roam
They eat the green grass
That is when the green grass grows.

Silas' Poems:

It is April
It rains a lot. The sun is hot.
There is mud.
The birds are back.
It is a mix of winter and summer.

Summer is Almost Here
After spring it will be summer.
The grass will be green.
The trees will have green leaves.
Summer is close.

Jasmine's Poems:


Spring
Spring is when things start to fly.
Spring is when animals start to show.
Spring is when it starts to rain.
And then the children laugh and play.


Spring
Look, look, look
Can’t you see?
Today is the first day of spring.
I look out the window and I see
All the animals staring at me!

Logan's Poems:
Hot
It is hot in nature
And spring will get a sunburn
You will need sun block.


Rain
The rain is coming down
People will not come out.
It will be a thunderstorm outside.


Clouds
Laying and watching the clouds and the sun.
Watching the clouds and the sun is fun.
The clouds would look like a duck or a boat.
Playing
Playing is a fun thing to do every day to play.
Swimming is fun to do on a good day.
Running- it is a good day to run today.

When it rains, when it pours

All day long.

Slips us down to the ground.

We just laugh and play all day long.

Let’s have fun
Let’s have fun.
Let’s go in the pool.
Let’s go outside to have fun.

Seasons
Spring feels nice.
Spring feels cool.

Winter is cold.

Spring is nice.
Just like summer. The sun comes out at summer.
