As we continue to get into the holiday spirit, I thought it might be fun to join our zest for the season with our new found awareness of all things poetry. Have a sentiment you'd like to share? Put it into poetic form and submit!
The sun is still shining,
there's no threat of snow here.
Yet all of our hearts
are filled with holiday cheer.
As we finish our schoolwork
and prepare for the break,
we can't help but think
of the vacations we'll take!
The next time we meet
it will be a new year.
Happy holidays to all,
and remember Shakespeare!

ReplyDeleteA holiday break signals a new year,
hopefully it will be filled with lots of cheer.
It will be Christmas over our winter break,
with all of the loud bells and chimes that you can shake.
Hanukkah will be over the break as well,
I hope everyone gets something nice like a new t.v. or a valuable shell.
We will miss Mrs. Zuri over our long Christmas break stretch,
maybe we will get her a gift like a homemade bracelet or christmas sketch.
Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!
Hi Mrs. Zuri, I liked your poem. Here is a Quick little poem I came up with.
ReplyDeleteAs the week comes to an end
we all realize
Its time to hang out with friends
and vacation fantasize.
Of course there is no snow
so I think what a bore
Though I might not be a pro
I would love to snow board.
So here I am in your class
lisining so attentive and clear
I came up with this poem
last minute this year.
I hope you enjoied the poem Mrs. Zuri.:)
I can’t wait for Christmas
ReplyDeleteIt’s almost here
What joy that it brings
And lots of cheer
Family and friends
From far and near
We spend time together
Till the end of the year!
Its not very long but I wrote it myself.

ReplyDeleteThe holidays are coming,
Everyone is excited.
The chorus keeps singing,
This makes them delighted!
Everyone becomes so happy,
They light up like a Christmas tree.
The snow just keeps falling, oh my,
It's a butterfly symbolizing that it's free!
Now it's time to leave the school,
To have fun with our friends.
We will get some presents that will be cool,
But more importantly, time with family will be spent.
So happy holidays to all,
And have fun for heaven's sake.
Just go with family to have a ball,
And see you soon after this break!
You all are doing a wonderful job spreading goodwill and poetry!
ReplyDeletePutting up the christmas tree,
ReplyDeletegives everyone a lot of glee.
Hanging up all the colorful lights,
waiting for Santa on christmas night.
Laying out the milk and cookies,
showing all the christmas rookies.
Waking up to stockings full,
Christmas morning? Nowhere near dull!

ReplyDeleteSoon the break is coming,
The holiday songs we keep on humming,
We eat lots and lots of yummy food,
And will be in the cheerful holiday mood.
The lights and breeze are so pretty,
Our Weston is such a beautiful city,
Many people go away,
I hope visitors enjoy their stay!
I hope my holiday wishes come true,
I love the winter morning dew,
It makes me so happy,
I don't think anyone can be snappy!
Happy Holidays!
The cold weather of the year
ReplyDeleteBrings happiness and lots of cheer.
The menorahs lit bright
and the christmas trees glimmering with all of their might
The presents, games but most of all spending time
With family is just sublime!
The caroling, wrapping and fantastic meals
And after clearance, Target has "The Greatest Deals"
Now it's time for a two week break
Spend time with family, and vacations we'll take!
The North, South, East and West
No matter where you go, you'll have a fest!
The most wonderful time is coming near
So stay tuned and don't shed a tear.
We'll see everyone soon, although we will miss them dear
But in the meantime, we'll have to look forward for next year!
Happy Holidays, Mrs Zuri!

ReplyDeleteWinter break is fun for everyone!
Even though there isn't too much sun.
This year, I will be skiing up north,
As usual, Vermont I will be heading forth.
I will be skiing at Stratton Mountain,
And the days I spend there I will be countin'.
Winter sure is a time to remember,
And I can't wait for it this December!
I will get to see all my family,
Which is such a pleasure for me!
My cousins and grandparents will all be there,
It will be a great big affair!
So for these two weeks,
I will be by the mountain peaks.
And however you spend your time,
I hope its as fun as this rhyme!
Happy Holidays Everyone! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is the time for Hanukkah.
So I will put on my yarmulke.
I will play with the Jewish top
While the potato latkes go pop.
Mom, Dad,and I will open our gifts.
We will take turns and open them in shifts.
Goodbye 2011 and hello 2012.
We will put new memories on the shelf.
Happy holidays to all and Happy New Year.
Spend your time together spreading good cheer.

ReplyDeleteThe holidays are full of food and good cheers,
Family and friends are coming from far and from near.
From latkes to candy canes galore
We just keep on asking for more and more
Lights are lighted all over the place
Candles are burning not even leaving a space
The christmas tree is full of presents and things
All around the house people dance and sing
The holidays are full of food and good cheers
I hope everyone has a great New Year!!!
So, have a good december
It will definitely be one to remember!!!!!
The holidays mean more to me
ReplyDeletethan presents and even a Christmas tree.
To reflect on our past year
and sing praises for all to hear.
Charity is the key
to a holiday season, for me.
Nothing can compare
to peace, love, and care.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the trees and such,
but not nearly half so much
as I do with the true reason
for holidays and the season.

My poem is going to be a limerick:
There once was a jolly ol' fellow named Santa,
Every night he drank some Fanta.
Once he had to give too much,
That he quit his job and such,
And moved down to city of Atlanta.
