Quatrains

This week, the kids' writing assignments were to write quatrains with specific rhyming schemes (like ABAB, AABB, etc.). Here's a sample of their literary skills:

Posey

by Sarah E. Choate

I know a hippo named Posey.

She is soft and gray

She isn't the least bit nosey.

I could play with her all day.

The Race

by Benjamin Choate

Waggie walks very fast,

But at the end, he comes in last.

When he finally gets home,

He takes a bath with purple foam.

I found it interesting that both Sarah and Benjamin chose to write about their stuffed animals.

Did any of you try the strawberry oragami for National Strawberry Ice Day last Tuesday? Ours came out backwards!
