Day Thirty / 10.19.10

Today we started with a quote from Eliza Griswold's poem "Evolution."

The moral is movement
is awkward. The lesson is fumble.

We then reviewed the vocabulary words for tomorrow's quiz. Next, we continued working on their/they're/there. If you'd like more practice, click here. After that, we read silently, then wrote poems about the downpour. Finally, we started to identify the differences between facts and opinions, based on this sheet.

Here are some great poems about the rain today:

Rain is peaceful, like flowers
falling on your head.

God is crying, he is sad. And flowers, trees, and
nature grows thanks to God.

Clouds crying of depression
making people sick by its coldness.

The sky is dark
the clouds are out
and nature is getting a shower
from the spouts of water
coming out of the sky.

The clouds got in a fight
one lost
and started to cry
rivers of
rain.

There is no rainbow, so
maybe there will be a flood.
