Haiku's 2015

Yesterday we began our poetry unit!  We were excited to learn about haikus!  Haikus are three lined poems with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables in the third line. We even got a chance to write out own haikus! Here are some of the poems that students wanted to share:

"Cheetahs"
Cheetahs, fast cheetahs
Big cheetahs that are pretty!
Fur has cute designs

Flies are everywhere
Flying to your food to eat
Flies are there to bite

Free style is fun
Skiers skiing down so fast
It is very fun.

Some foods can be small,
food can be healthy for you
some foods can be big.
