Central Idea: Images convey meaning, express moods, and tell stories.
Transdisciplinary Theme: How We Express Ourselves.
Last week, students brainstormed how they could show their understanding of the central idea by the end of the unit. What could we create? Since we have been writing lots of poetry and making connections to art, they decided on a good goal for how many poems they wanted to have ready for their poetry portfolio and how they wanted to include their personal artwork. They spent time typing some of the poetry they have so far, while learning some of the features on Google Docs to help them type. They are excited to invite you to our classroom at the end of this unit to share their digital portfolios!
Here are just a few poems that I pulled from some of their Google Docs. Happy reading!

The Nature All Around ME
The sun on the side
Of me keeps me
Warm ad
Tosty
The other side of me
Has wind that makes
Me cold
Like a tiny ice cube
The green grass
Is soft and pointy
But my body keeps geting ichy
All the tiime
By the green,soft,and poiny grass
The leaves are very crunchy like chips
I imagine the trees that has lots of arms
some has no hair and some does.
their eyes are closed
so stay quiet
they’re sleeping
shh dont wake them up
Or they will yell at you
The Woods
The brown leafy
pond
The painful
Thorns
and the really
leafy ground
the mud
so many trees
Sticks
the fall
with many things
the big rocks around the pond
the home of many creatures
and the big Meadow
The Woods
Streams Like Sapphire.
frogs and tadpoles swim free in the wild.
Leaves like little planes for
Bugs when They Fall down.
Haiku
I’m going to die
wind is freezing white snow chills
I need a fire!!!!
The Woods
The leaves flying everywhere
the sun shining in my eyes
trees blowing
the flowers were blooming
the bees were waiting.
Boxing Match
We punch. We have power!
You are down!
Pain!
Fall!

The leaves On the ground
Crunch crunch crunch!

on my head
