We are playful like babies.
We like to make others laugh
We are funny like clowns.

A huge bundle of heart
A student’s best friend
A poster of caring
An ocean of great guidance

4. A Learning Home
(a poem with sensory images)
Strawberry Knoll is a small castle with great children.
We see children working hard.
Children asking questions and teachers explaining.
Beautiful music coming from the music room.
Children screaming outside at recess and giggling in the hallway.
Mrs. Cates baking pepperoni pizza and grilling grilled cheese.
Tasty, scrumptious, and delicious shrimp poppers.
Yummy grilled cheese sandwiches being passed along to others.
We are excited to come to Strawberry Knoll because we get to
learn new things.
Strawberry Knoll is our learning home.

5. Strawberry Knoll Is the Place to Be
(a poem with rhyme and repetition)
Strawberry Knoll is the place to be

Strawberry Knoll is the place to be
It is a very good school.
Strawberry Knoll is the place to be
It has so many busy bees.

6. The Noisy Recess
(onomatopoeia poem)
Aaah! Scream the kids as they play.
Stomp! Stomp! Go the feet tumbling down
the path.
Bang! Go the kids hitting the pole.

Swish! Goes the ball into the hoop.
Tweet! Screeches the whistle.
Time to go inside.
