One of Three.jpg

All I can say is wow!  The first, second, third and fourth graders at Cliffside Park School Number 6 totally ROCK!  Thanks so much to Gini Luraschi for bringing me to the school and to principal, Lorraine Morrow, for encouraging the event.  First, I spoke with the first and second graders.  We recited poetry together from my book, Poems on Fruits and Odes to Veggies.  And I even got to recite my poem, I Brush My Teeth Each Morning, from Rolling in the Aisles.  The kids were great listeners and great participants too!  And together, the group wrote their own poem.  You can read it at the end of my post.

Next, I spoke with the third and fourth graders.  Once again, I was blown away.  The kids are bright, fun and terrific listeners.  And each time I recited a poem, I got a terrific round of applause.  Boy, was my heart overflowing with good vibes!  My second group also wrote their own poem.  And both groups raised the roof right off the building when I asked them to shout the word zucchini!  I loved it.  The following are the poems the children wrote.  Enjoy!

Ten Funny Poems by, Cliffside Park 1st & 2nd graders

I like to eat apples

The pumpkin was sweet

I love bananas

I am a gorilla

A monkey is on my sister’s face

The pink tiger knows my identity

The pizza is very hot

Zucchini is a funny word

My camera is pink

A raspberry is good

The Crazy Poem by, Cliffside Park 3rd & 4th graders

Basketball is a game you always want to see

After you see it, you want to eat chocolate

and sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

And then you say, “Hi!” to everyone in town

And firecrackers explode

When fireworks work

On the Fourth of July

Then you go to BankNorth Bank

Judy blew the firecrackers at home

And Judy was wearing a necklace
