In reading this week, students learned about the purpose of an ode, a writer's way of honoring a person or object that has meaning in his or her life. The subjects they chose reflected their unique personalities!
Here's my Ode to Ice Cream...
Creamy, colorful, sometimes crunchy, and cold
I do love ice cream so don’t you scold
Any day of the week, I can have a scoop
or even two
Whoever says you can’t have ice cream for dinner isn’t true
From bubble gum to chocolate chip cookie dough and even plain ole’ vanilla
Didn’t you know that ice cream is a food group? Duh!
Each sinful scoop is like heaven on a spoon
Eating this tasty treat all the time might just be my doom
Thoughts of “I’ve gotta go to the gym ASAP” sometimes flood my mind
But then I remember, “Hey, life’s too short!”
So I start thinking about my next favorite kind
Whether it’s Oberweis, Cold Stone or Dairy Queen
I scream, you scream
I wonder what new flavor I can dream?
