Pie(ku)!

     We celebrate pi day in English class too by writing haiku poems about pie or pie(ku) as we like to say! Here are a few of our favorite poems. :)

         Pastry versus pie
   A war of delightful treats
    May the crust guide you
-by Zach H. grade 8

        
       Do not touch my pie
    It is for me, not you peasant
         I love my sweet treat
  -by Olivia B. grade 7




Pie, the scrumptious food
   The aroma of apples
    Dessert of winners
-by Addy D. grade 7

The Audience Awaits

     The kindergartners turned out to be the audience in this case as eighth grade students shared original pop-up books they created after reading non-fiction books. How do you write for a particular audience? Students discovered that finding the right subject matter was the first step. Topics ranged from cats to astronauts as students created books that included a message/moral for younger students as well as a detailed story plot incorporating all of the facts from the non-fiction books. We invited the kindergarten students to be our audience and we all had lots of fun drinking milk or juice and eating homemade cookies. Yum! Take a look at our pictures below.
