Hi! Today in class we read a song/poem by Eily Bronte. It went like this...
Fall, leaves, fall;
Die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me;
Fluttering from the Autumn tree.
Then I had students write their own version of a Fall is poem. Here are a few from the class.
Fall is a time of color;
Die, die, die;
Leaves whistle, whistle;
Bye, bye, bye.
Fall is a time of color;
More night, night, night;
Live, die, die, die.
Leaves fall from the Autmn tree,
And every leaf speaks to me.
Flowers die ad fade away,
The day shortens and night lengthens.
It is bliss to me.
Fall is long night, short days;
Leaves rustling in breeze;
Frost on the ground;
Reds, oranges, greens, and yellows;
On the trees;
Fall is sad.
Fall is happy.
Fall is September, October, and November.
Notice all the semi-colons Ask your child why????
