5th Grade Poets

The fifth graders finished a unit about poetry. They read lots of poetry and wrote lots too. They then published their poems into beautiful books. Here are some pictures of them binding and reading their newly published books and, below the pictures, a poem by Lucas.

You are Music

You are Smooth Jazz at night.

You are 80’s Pop, with its nice bass.

You are the piano in every Blues song.

You are ukulele strumming its heart away.

But you are not the loud crashes and bangs on drums, I am.

I am the electric slides in Metal music

I am the tempo going up and down,

never staying in the same place for too long

But we, together we are Music.
