Echo Mountain's Poetry

Our class has been busy stretching our creativity muscles and preparing material for our final performance. Right now we’re working on movement, and we can’t wait to show you the dance we’ve created out of activities we enjoy. For the time being, however, we’d love to share some of our poetry with you! Check out these poems we wrote in class:

A violet’s a flower that’s pretty
That you can find in the city
Here is a clue
They are always blue
And that’s the name of my kitty!

Bunnies are cute and they’re fluffy
Their fur is fuzzy and puffy
They are really jumpy
And never grumpy
And we call him Tuffy.

My special puppy is cute
She is like the button mute
She eats less than a dog
She eats like a log
She looks like a lot of loot.

Plants
Alive, Green
Growing, planting, potting
Planting is really fun
Vegetation

Toys
Fun, Playful
Playing, moving, talking
Always fun and playful
Action Figure

Football
Fun, Exciting
Throwing, kicking, running
I like to play
Sport

Earth
Green, Blue
Spinning, growing, raining
It’s important to me
Home.

Dogs
Dogs eat like hogs
Dogs like to jog
Dogs are furry
Dogs are fuzzy
Dogs go on logs.

Echo Mountain is moving forward!

As you can see, here at Echo Mountain we’ve been writing some fabulous poetry! We’re stretching our creative writing muscles with I Am poems, Cinquains, and Limericks. We’re really proud of the results and can’t wait to share them with you in our class play, What Matters to Me, at the end of the term.

Having successfully finished our poetry unit, we’ve moved on to movement. We’re having a lot of fun exploring all the different ways we can create characters with our bodies. We’re practicing moving through different types of obstacles, moving to different types of music, even creating machines and inventions with movement and sound. We’re having a blast and we can’t wait to show you all the wonderful things we’ve created.
