Happy Monday! I'm back at camp, but today I'm writing from a new location, Lexington, Kentucky--beautiful part of the country---rolling green, green hills. However, I am quickly learning that all this green countryside comes with a price, humidity and severe thunderstorms!
At the end of this post, you can find my poem responding to a writing activity from author Liz Garton-Scanlon at Kate Messner"s blog post for July 13, 2015. Follow the link If you are interested in today's activity. http://www.katemessner.com/teachers-write-7-13-15-mini-lesson-monday-with-liz-garton-scanlon/ Her lively lesson will have you composing poetry right away. I'm inspired to write more poetry, and I am definitely planning a first grade poetry unit. The purpose of the poem below is to capture a memory of a little train trip in Versailles, Kentucky yesterday. Bluegrass Train It’s travel time stepping back Heading for the railroad track Bluegrass country green and neat Ticket for an old train seat Conductor waves to hail At all the folks without fail Blasting horn not too subtle Now, tardy stragglers hustle All aboard the Bluegrass Train Hot and muggy but no rain This train travels really slow Clickity Clack, Here we go!
