Poetry Friday: A Cloudy Day




Having second graders write poems about clouds was part of the collaboration unit I just finished integrating science and literacy. These are a few treasures.  Terran’s is significant because he hates to write. I love his repetition.

Cumulonimbus

Cumulonimbus

Rain cloud

Thunderhead

Lightening will make a

Big boom!

It is really dark.

–Makenna, 2nd grade

Cumulus, cumulus

You are big

Cumulus, cumulus

Whit cumulus

Puffy on top

Cumulus, cumulus

You have a flat bottom

–Terran, 2nd grade

Stratus

Stratus are soft

They are like a blanket

They are

Cool, tight, best

They are gray

–Oscar, 2nd grade

Unseeable

Calm

Wispy

Like

A

Wave

A little

Rain drizzle

Seems restless

Like

It’s

Always

There.

–Tailor, 2nd grade

Stratus

Soft like a blanket

So wispy

So gray

Low in the sky

See in the morning

Wiggly line

–Adam, 2nd grade

Counting down until I mail my national board box with my 4 portfolio entries.
