And it always takes up space,
It has some weight and has a shape,
A ball, a book, your face.
You are a solid,
And so is your chair.
Just look in your classroom-
Wow! They're everywhere!
A solid is a solid,
And it always takes up space, It has some weight and has a shape, A ball, a book, your face. You are a solid, And so is your chair. Just look in your classroom- Wow! They're everywhere!

People live in houses In many lands and places, As different from each other As their many names and faces. There are houses made of mud and grass, Of bricks, of snow, of stones. There are houses round and houses square And houses shaped like cones. Some people live in motor homes, They wander and they roam. And whatever place they choose to park- They call it home sweet home! -by Mary Sullivan In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead, short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. by John McCrae (This is a challenge poem. There is not an assigned poem this week as we would like all students to catch up with our weekly poems) CONGRATULATIONS TO ETHAN H. AND MARIA Z. WHO WERE THE FIRST STUDENTS TO MEMORIZE THE POEM! Orange Mr. Pumpkinhead,
The window frames your grin, Long after I have gone to bed, Your candle burns within. I worked so hard to carve your mouth, Those circles for your eyes. And now you light this special night- A Hallowe'en surprise! (This is a challenge poem for students to memorize. It is, however, optional. Students who wish to recite this poem may do so shortly before our auction on Friday, October 31, 2014). Congratulations to Maria Z. for memorizing this poem; an honourable mention to Adam B. for memorizing half of the poem. |
