1. Self-Starter:  What's at the End of the Rainbow?  Write at least a half page.  This could be a poem, a brief story, an explanation, etc.

2.  Time to work on newspaper articles.


3. Writing Limericks

Limericks

And because you deserve some more serious poetry, too: 


_________________________

Some of our results:

I'm sitting here in a school

but I'd rather be at the pool.

I'd catch a beach ball

'til the principal makes a call,

and I end up back at the school.     -- Emily H.

 

There once was a frog -- no  a toad --

 And when into the  road he strode,

He was hit with a splat

and now he is flat.

He should never have gone in the road.   -- Braden P. 


There once was a boy called Sam

who really enjoyed eating ham.

He ate it all day

causing people to say,

"You should really try bread and jam."     -- Hailey W.


On the ship on the ocean by me,

there's a man that you won't like to see.

His face is all haggard,

and this week he staggered,

and fell off his boat into the sea.       -- Keziah A.
