Poets Wanted... okay friends, I'm looking for some help, I have a big science project that is due in a week, and my friend Sarah and I have decided to do a lesson plan to help grade one students learn to classify what a bird is. We wanted to have an action poem for the kids to do at the end of the lesson to help them remember the facts, so if you have any good lines or whole poems you want to share that would be AMAZING and you would get credit in our project!
Here are the things that need to be included in the poem:
Birds have two legs
Birds have wings
Birds have beaks
Birds have feathers
Birds lay eggs
Birds sometimes fly (not always)
So if anyone is a poet and we just don't know it yet, let this be the place that you share it. Seriously friends I am offering a prize for the person who can write me an awesome poem... remember it needs to be simple since it is for grade one!!

What is a post without pictures. A few weeks ago Brandon and I had all 5 kids over and we had a blast! We ate treats, watched tv and colored! Uncle Brandon decided to scare the kids which I did not support and tried to stop without success. He went out and bought a michael myers mask and terrified the kids... honestly they were in tears! Sarah was under a blanket crying before he even entered the room, Jacob ran to the corner and cried, Georgia just stared and wondered what the heck was going on and jessica, although scared at first, found it funny in the end and tried the mask on. The others insisted we throw the mask out and wanted to see it in the garbage. Little Cooper just laid on the floor with no clue of what had just transpired. I'm not going to lie it was a little funny, and I laughed a little, but I did worry if we'd ever get the kids over to visit again. We saw them the next day and all children slept fine, although miss g was telling us that she didn't want to come to auntie kaka's anymore. I saw her this Monday and she was still saying she didn't want to come over because she's been having bad dreams of scary uncle Brandon, but we will win her over and she'll come play again! It was a FUN night!

Georgia colored her first picture for my fridge
Cooper ate dinner on my floor
The girls made spooky fridge pictures, Jessica wanted hers to be a surprise

There once was a birdie, her name was Heather.
She had a pointy beak and was covered in feathers.
She had two skinny legs,
She liked to lay eggs,
And she would fly if the weather would let her.
HAHA, kidding! I totally made that up as I typed. I'm not a poet, but good luck, I'm sure someone creative will come up with something CUTE about birds!!
Mean Uncle Brandon! Did I ever tell you the story about how Nate made me cry on our HONEYMOON?? I still don't let him live it down! He made me watch a scary movie with him, and then he ran and hid and jumped out at me.....nice way to treat your new your wife, huh!!
oh I think that is cute idea it's in the running... you are a great poet!!! Oh my goodness can't believe that nate did that one your honeymoon.... if bran ever did that to me, I don't think we'd still be married...hahha just joking!
Haha Karen, I was totally joking! A bird named Heather??? I'm SURE you'll get something better than that!!!
You are such a good Aunty! I wish I could help you with the poem, but I know where to draw the line and I am no poet! You'll have to post your winning poem!
ok... here you go... its not the best but i tried haha
birds are cute
they have two legs
they sometimes fly
but not always.
birds have a beak
so pointy and small
they have two winds
and aren't very tall.
birds lay eggs
so small and cute
their babies have feathers
just like all birds do.
hope that helps!
