Six Ways of Looking at a Snowflake

This week, inspired by Wallace Stevens' Thirteeen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, we wrote about different ways to see a snowflake.

ByTaymiyyah    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    1.   A  snowflake  reminds  me of a new made snowman.                                                                                   
2.  A  snowflake also reminds me of my kitten.                                                                                                           
3.  A snowflake reminds me of   ice-cream.                                                                                                                          
4.  A snowflake reminds me of a snowball   fight.                                                                                                  
5.  A snowflake reminds me of milk.                                                                                                                              
6.  A   snowflake reminds  me  of  Charlie Brown.        

By Jon-Luke:

1.       All I remember is playing a game with my friends Mathew and John.

2.       It reminds me of Mr. frosty the ice cream truck that comes to my block.

3.       It reminds me of Frosty the Snow Man that sings.

4.       It reminds me hot cocoa.

5.       It reminds me Christmas and how I get presents.

6.       It reminds me how I play in the snow


By Ms. India:

The porcelain friend that disappears,
The sharp bite of the cold keeps my vision clear.
I’ve had all of fall that I can take
So I sit anxiously, for the arrival of snowflakes.
Frostbitten windows and mountains of snow,
Dearest winter snowflakes, I wish you’d never go.

By Abdul:

Snowflakes snowflakes they get lower and they fall sometimes high they will come along
Snowflake please come along we will eat as you come along snowflakes snowflakes don’t cry
I’ll put in the snow please don’t if you do I might to help and I can’t because I’m sitting back
 Drinking some good old hot cocoa Santa says hoho. Thank you all.

By Shalia:

1.Snow,Snow come alive.
2.snowsnow come and fly in my world
3. snow is from a angel above.
4. snow is from the heavens above.
5. snowsnow who invited you to a christmas party
6. snow is love to me
7. snow come rise in Chinatown
8. snow is love to me

Snow, snow, Christmas  coming along  snow, snow  let  the snow angel come along snow, snow, the snowman  coming  alive snow, snow  lets have a snowball fight snow, snow lets have some cocoa with some donuts  snow, snow, lets  have some fun snow, snow, have fun with friends and family

By Imani:

What a snow flake means to me is happiness
and love snow flakes they are very nice and pretty to me. I love the winter it is a nice very nice season . What I get to do in the winter is play and make snow angels and make snow men, with my friends that live on the block I also like to have  snow ball fights . Me and my friends come inside to have some hot cocoa and some cookies . So everyday me and my grandma and my friends go to Germantown Ave. And go ice skatin’. I take lessons I also have my own skates they are white with pink hearts on it. I LOVE THE WINTER AND IT IS VERY FUN.

By Elijah:

1.       The ice texture of the snowflake itself.
2.       The unique design that that every snowflake is different.
3.       The fun you can have with snowflakes.
4.       Snowflakes are just like life though the seasons
5.       You can make a lot of different things you can create with snowflakes
6.       Snow lets you stay in the house and drink hot choclate

By Devin C:

1. Snow,because it is white
and because it's a little cold
and just like a smoothie.

2. Reminds me of ice,
it's round
and a snowflake is round too.

3. My life is about making an igloo
because the igloo is just like snow
but it could turn into ice.

4. If you have a small one
then it's gonna go to melt
in the freezer.

5. When it snows and falls down
I like it when it falls down.
Then I am going to show it to everybody.
If somebody says "Snows don't fall down."
then I am going to prove it to them.

6. It reminds me of a freezer
be cause cold is coming out of it
every time you open it
then stuff is cold.

Monsters Can Be Beautiful

Monsters Can Be Beautiful

Monsters can be beautiful because some monsters are hateful and some are nice!
Some monsters can be nice and helpful and kind and handsome and nice.
Some nice monsters can be nice because they can be creative or happy.
Some monsters can be drawing and some monsters can be scary!
Scary monsters might scare you and hurt you and make you scream and cry.
Some scary monsters can not be hurtful and some can be nice and a little bit creative.
Nice monsters are cute, beautiful and some will help you learn how to read and
make you paint and learn how to write on the computer!

Some monsters can be slimy and yucky.
They can throw yucky mud.
Be careful, because they can throw mud at you!

Some beautiful monsters can read books and be smart
and learn how to sing and learn how to dance
and got a phone.
Some beautiful monsters can play at the library
and draw on boards.

Some monsters are beautiful because
they come to the computer lab and wait for the monster
teacher to come and tell them what to do.

A monster can beautiful by the ways it can scare.
It can be creative in how scary it looks.
A monster can be beautful by
being pink or orange or purple or blue or black
or gray or red or white or green.

A monster could be beautiful because
you could make it have earrings.
They can get get dressed up as Michael Jackson!

Great White Shark Poem
by Qadir N.M.
My name is GWS Jr.
And I’m a shark
I swim all day
In my underwater park
Seal is great
Just like me
I’m the fastest
I’m the toughest
Shark in the big sea
With teeth like these
I’m the monster you should flee
Cause I’m a great white shark
You better fear me.

Peace Is...

Peace is love, caring, quiet, beautiful, romantic, soft spoken, soft, lovable, careful, treated fairly, helpful, sweet, pretty.

Peace is in the movies or in the playground, people want you to help them.
I play with friends.

Hope is like peace because you give more hope for one another.

Peacefulness is when you treat others the way you want to be treated:
if you don't want them to be mean to you, you don't be mean to them.

You care about somebody else and you play with somebody.

If they don't have any homes, I take them home.

Take a family tree and write "hopeful," "joy" "a peace world" and "peaceful birds."

Peace is inside you when you make yourself calm.
No one can make you unpeaceful inside.

If people are sick and have no place, I take them to my house.
