Noun Poems!

As we continued our study of parts of speech, the "Budding Authors and Artists" wrote Noun Poems.  These are a Mad Lib style, fill-in-the-blank activity, where the students choose common and proper nouns when prompted by the teacher.  The end result is a poem they didn't know they were creating.  They often times turn out quite humorous! The underlined, bold words are the nouns the children chose as they were being prompted.  Enjoy!

A Noun Poem

By Kaden (1st grade)

My video game,  my video game 

I love it!  It's cool.

I'd like to buy one for Nicky at school.

I bring mine with me wherever I go,

From Legoland to home to Colorado.

My friends Nick and Alex

Say a star is more useful.

But I feel that I must remain truthful.

I will hold my video game close to my heart.

And hope that we never, ever must part!

A Noun Poem

By Danika (2nd grade)

My desk, my desk,

I love it!  It's cool.

I'd like to buy one for Rayne at school.

I bring mine with me wherever I go,

From Disneyland to New York City to Colorado.

My friends Chloe and Daniella 

Say a book is more useful.

But I feel that I must remain truthful.

I will hold my desk close to my heart.

And hope that we never, ever must part!
