Jayden's Poetry

We are taking the month of April off from school.... my children apparently prefer those times to blossom ;) Evie is naming colors, Julianna is swinging herself (thanks to some friends!) and Grace's imagination is just out the roof (and she's reading too!).

Jayden has decided to take up writing poetry. She's been reading some short poems and limericks and today took a stab at her own. I think they are very good! Here are two she wrote today copied as she wrote them on her paper.

away

away in the winter
away in the fall
away in the summer
away at all

Fall

Fall is when the leaves turn brown
Fall is when they swirl around
Fall is when they go past by
Fall is when they drop by.

I thought she did well for her first attempt at poetry!
