Could that day be right? This year seems to be going by so fast. I cannot believe that in just seven more school days it will be winter break. Not that I am counting.
We continued to talk about poetry today in class. The class listened to a young man list things that he believed in on a recording. The kindergartener had made a list of 100 things he believed for his 100th day of school. I thought that the list that the boy sounded like poetry. The class agreed that it was "poem-ish."
After that I just had to set them loose and they wrote their "I Believe" poems. Here are just some of the "I Believe" lines that were shared today:
"I believe that every book I read is magical."
"I believe piano soothes away your worries.
I believe the sound of a piano is magical.
I believe that piano is a calming instrument."
"I believe the future will hold many new tales to tell
I believe"
"I believe in trustworthy parents,
I believe that parents are reliable,
I believe that parents are the ones
that will be there for us"
"I believe in writing with power and wisdom
I believe writing is a skill not a test
I believe writing can be anything"
It is an amazing thing to be in our room when we share our writing. I am constantly awed by the smart, funny, beautiful, or profound things that our shared each day at our rocking chair. I cannot wait to see where our poetry goes next.
Tomorrow we will dive into the second pillar of poetry...image. In years past this is where I see our authors just produce amazing pieces of writing. I cannot wait to see what I have in store tomorrow when we share at the rocking chair.
