Fascinating Field trip Fun

I would like to thank all of the parents who took time out of their busy schedule to drive on our field trip.This week we got to go visit some very rich local history.  We journeyed back in time to the first Mexican land grant estate.  Along the way, we paused to make nature drawings and create poems about nature using figurative language.

I am excited as a hummingbird-Fallon

I am as clam as a waterfall- Morgan

Rivers and swamps splish and splash, I am a wet frog

a croak, a rib-bit 

like an amphibian exhibit- Mila

Beautiful bumblebees buzz busily-James

I was as calm as the river

My mother, my sister,

the giver...

Boys bouncing boisterously

sometimes missing the subtlety 

life is the flower glistening in the sun-Bill

I am as fast a a cheetah chasing its prey-Brecken

The tree was a tall tall tree and looked like a green breeze-Alec

Today told time...

I was as hot as the sun-Alan

One day goats will die,

rise up high

big and small

tall and all,

they can go 

to know

but crows oh no-D

I popped like a berry

I'm as protective as a wolf for its cubs-Kai

When I walked on the lazy rocks they winced

The wind chimes laughed at me

as they flew back and forth-Mateo

Alden's amazing armadillo acts awesome-Alden

I'm as small as a crayfish and as quiet as a butterfly-Gabi

Tree trunks triumphed like a trumpet-Grant

My mother is as sweet as a berry-Max

I am as small as a bumble bee

as quiet as the wind-Heidi

Julius' jewel jumped joyously on Jack's jackrabbit-Julius

The river rushes rapidly by the bridge-Is'haq

Clouds could cough calmly

water waved warmly

people played playfully-Dylan

Cattails were as soft as tiger's fur-Julia

Paige's purple pigs played in the park-Paige

The weeping willow spoke to me, 

It made me feel like I can breath

the sunlight shines on the morning dew

a flower bloomed for love and truth-Aidan
