Then we completed an activity where we're given the first line of a poem and must come up with the second. We both tried it and shared our results with each other. Bella's rhymes were an attempt to be funny, of course :-)
Bella:
Beetles like to munch and munch.
They even like Captain Crunch.
Mom:
Beetles like to munch and munch.
...The leaves of roses they eat for lunch.
Bella:
Ants work hard all through the day.
They even like to lay on the bay.
Mom:
Ants work hard all through the day.
...For their play is work and work is play.
Bella:
Crickets chirp in the dark of the night.
They might even fight at the same old night.
Mom:
Crickets chirp in the dark of the night.
...Music sounds sweeter in the moonlight.
Bella:
Grasshopper up in the air so high!
I will miss you my little guy.
Mom:
Grasshopper up in the air so high!
...Down again, then up. Jump, then fly.
If this was a contest for the silliest poet, the second grader certainly wins the prize!
