How to make a plant grow

Earth Day Hall Display and poem

I got this idea from a fellow blogger, The Techy Teacher

Earth Day

I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.

Spring Rain poem

This week we practiced reading fluency with our Spring Rain poem. We also drew pictures to show what we would look like if we got caught in the rain, and what we looked like if were ready for the rain.

Spring Rain

The storm came up so very quick

It couldn’t have been quicker.

I should have brought my hat along,

I should have brought my slicker.

My hair is wet, my feet are wet,

I couldn’t be much wetter.

I fell into a river once

But this is even better.

Welcome

I am excited to finally start a blog. I am not sure the direction I will be going, so come back often and check out where it goes. I look forward to sharing students work, accomplishes in the classroom, along with setbacks. I need to figure out how to add a Voki, and I want a header, still a work in progress.
