Taline Nassef presented the poem "Dear Mrs Buttler" by Allan Ahlberg, a poem about a desperate student who falls on deaf ears with her teacher and gets confusing answers. Saif Abouzeid recited "Homework, I love you" by Kenn Nesbitt, an ironic poem that tells of a student's relationship with his homework.
Kenn Nesbitt Poem Homework I Love You
This is a great book because it is so-o-o funny! It isn't a story about a dog who does homework, but it's a book full of funny poems, instead. Some of the poems rhyme, some do not. The poems are different lengths. Most are only one page long, but some are two pages long. This book is filled with 25 very funny poems written by different poets like Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky, Jon Scieszka, Eve Merriam and other poets. Jon Scieszka also gives you ideas of how to write different kinds of poems in this book.
If the title makes you laugh, the poems inside this book will make you laugh, too. The first poem in the book is called "My Dog Does My Homework" by Kenn Nesbitt, just like the title of the book. This poem is so-o-o funny because you know that dogs can't do your homework. But if you have a dog, you know it can slobber, just like in the poem. My three favorite poems are "The Creature In the Classroom" by Jack Prelutsky, "Hi, How Are You Today?" by Jeff Moss, and "The Ice Cream Fountain Mountain" by Eve Merriam. All three poems made me laugh so hard when I read them.
I recommend this book to people who love reading and writing poems. The whole book is filled with funny poems and how to write different kinds of poems. I think third graders and older could easily read this book. Second graders would have to be good readers to read these poems because some of the words are hard to read.
B.J. your talk looks amazing, and I love your get-up! Would love to have been a fly on the wall in that classroom. The poems and notes you got in reply speak of what a hit you were. Thanks for sharing this lovely experience with us.
Fluency is built through repeated reading of the rhythm and rhyme of each poem. There is a poem out there for each student to relate to. We've put together a list of 28 of our student's most beloved poems!
What makes this collection most special are the contemporary details sprinkled throughout (the iPod, XBox, and Kindle, Red Bull, J.K. Rowling, scrunchies, computer woes). Kids will really love the clever nonsense in poems like "On the Thirty-Third of Januaugust" and "It's Fun to Leave the Spaces Out."
