DA poets publish books

Second-graders in teacher Leslie Klingensmith’s class at Daniel Axford Elementary recently published their very own poetry books.
The talented students took the various styles of poems they’ve authored as part of their classwork and printed them inside softcover books, which they illustrated in colorful ways.
Here’s a sampling of their cute little poems. Enjoy.

In school you can learn
You can have lots of fun
Listen to your teacher
And you can go out and run
You can go to the office
If you bonk your head
Don’t forget you can’t go to bed!

I am going on a road trip
I’m going very long
I am going all the ay to Colorado
That’s way too long
It takes about a day
That’s too much to stay
We finally got there

I had to take a nap
We stayed at a hotel
It was really bad

I am stuck inside a clam
How can I get out of here?
Is someone else stuck inside here too?
Can this clam get wider?
Than I can see the exit.
So I can get out of here.

I love him because of what he does for me.
