Poems

After studying poems in reading, Landon and Konnor from Mrs. Hawthorne's class wrote a poem (much like "Hippos Hope") on their own during reading centers:

There once was a zebra who wanted to fly a kite
Kite-hi-dee flight-hi-dee fright-hi-dee-hoo

So he sewed him a kite with red and white stripes
Strip-hi dee bright-hi-dee light-hi-dee-hoo

The kite took off like a star racing in the night
Night-hi-dee white-hi-dee bright-hi-dee-ho

The kite fell like a baby bird falling out of the tree top
Tree-hi-dee bee-hi-dee wee-hi-dee-way

His kite broke and he ran home and cried like a baby.
