Spring, A Time of Growth and New Beginnings
I hope this spring break as been a fun and restful one for everyone. I hope you come back rejuvenated. I’ve spent my time working around the house and reading, a lot! I’m reading the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Each page is full of sensory language intensifed by figurative language; it’s hard to put down. Anyway, fourth quarter will bring some changes to room 802. First of all I’ve arranged the desks into a semicircle to facilate our sharing of poetry. The back wall will feature a poetry wall for young aspiring writers to spin their words of wisdom. We’ll be writing a lot of poems to start fourth quarter. I found a great websiteful of poetry ideas. We’ll be using some of the poetry ideas from this website in class. The site is called writefix, check it out. WriteFix.
Magnetic Poetry is also a fun cite to “Play with Words” and use your imagination to create a creatived poem.
Enjoy the rest of your spring break!

Here is a poem, it’s kind of raw.
What we had
it was good
but you need to have this understood
I hate you so much
I want you dead
You’re making me sick
in the head
You crushed my heart
then made me cry
Now will you please
just die?

I really like this quote, I think it’s also probably true unfortunately. It also makes me think of the Sneetches by Dr. Suess
-”If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed, and color, we would find some other causes for prejudice by noon” -Sen. George Aiken (1892-1984)

K, how bout this?
*ahem-clears throat*
roses are red
violets are blue
sugar is sweet
and so is honeydew?
