Back to School…With a List Poem


Welcome back to school! I hope you get to do lots of writing.



To celebrate the new school year, let's write a List Poem.

What's a List Poem? 

It's just like it sounds. We make a list!

Think about your first day of school this year. What did you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell? What really stood out? 





First Day

new markers that squeak on the board

my desk with the wobbly seat
the girl with purple braces
the new teacher who smiles a lot
books that smell like the library
morning recess
the airplane that buzzes past the window
mac n cheese at lunch
afternoon recess

the markers stop squeaking
my desk settles down
i smile at the purple braces 
not bad today
