spring is the beautiful season.
The trees grow their sprouts.
The glasses strech out from sleepy land.
The flowers show their young faces.
The cloud spreat rain on the land.
Spring is the best season of the years.

Once upon a book there was a letter.

Once upon a letter there was a word.

Once upon a word there was a sentence.

Once upon a sentence there was a paragraph.

Once upon a paragraph there was a page.

Once upon a page there was a chapter.

Once upon a chapter there was a book.

I was inspired by Poem in Your Pocket day and I found this poem about teachers written by Kevin William Huff. It made me think of all the amazing educators we have at Charter Oak! Hope you enjoy it!

Teachers

By Kevin William Huff

Teachers

Paint their minds

and guide their thoughts

Share their achievements

and advise their faults

Inspire a Love

of knowledge and truth

As you light the path

Which leads our youth

For our future brightens

with each lesson you teach

Each smile you lengthen

Each goal you help reach

For the dawn of each poet

each philosopher and king

Begins with a Teacher

And the wisdom they bring.

written by Ms. Habif’s class and Ms. Choffel, 2019

Today I’ve got the whole world in my pocket.

I reach in. I find leaves, toys, candy.

Crumpled paper, flowers, a magic key.

A fairy, a unicorn, a mermaid,

even a TV!

A thousand dollars,

a dinosaur. A pet, a chameleon,

a sneaky little leprechaun.

A rainbow!

A refrigerator! Filled with jello.

A handful of gems and a shimmer of glitter.

My friends, my family, my dog

and a skunk he chases after.

My school. The pyramids.

And a red bird flying through—

a poem!

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you

That whispers all day long,

‘I feel that this is right for me,

I know that this is wrong.’

No teacher, preacher, parent, friend

Or wise man can decide

What’s right for you -- just listen to

The voice that speaks inside.

I found one of my favorite poems. It was written by a student in Washington, DC and published as part of their class work. It reminds me that poetry can be whatever we want it to be, and always makes me smile! - Ms. Jerram

I broke my mother's iPhone. I didn't mean to do it. I played a game that made me mad, and that was why I threw it. I tried to fix it quickly. I used a lot of tape plus glue and gum and rubber bands to put it back in shape.

Very long legs
Its eyes are a pale blue
And its eyes as big as eggs.

Chocolate is sweet
and so good to eat.
I like it whenever
I need a good treat.
In brownies and cookies
and chocolate cake,
it adds extra sweetness
to everything I bake.
White chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate galore.
I know I could eat 100 pieces or MORE!

The Secret

BY ANONYMOUS

We have a secret, just we three,

The robin, and I, and the sweet cherry-tree;

The bird told the tree, and the tree told me,

And nobody knows it but just us three.

But of course the robin knows it best,

Because she built the—I shan't tell the rest;

And laid the four little—something in it—

I'm afraid I shall tell it every minute.

But if the tree and the robin don't peep,

I'll try my best the secret to keep;

Though I know when the little birds fly about

Then the whole secret will be out.
