Over the past few weeks, students have been working extra hard to memorize a poem. This week they recited their poem once with a partner to the whole class, and once individually to a small group. Not only did students memorize these tough poems, they also gave us all a great deal of information including literary devices, vocabulary, and a biography of the poet. I'm really proud of the hard work these kids did!

I know this has nothing to do with the subject but this is the hardest riddle in the world! Can you answer it!
ReplyDeleteI turn polar bears white
And I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
And girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
And normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
And make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
