Canaan Elementary School had poet Darren Sardelli visit all day on May 8, 2008. The first and third graders met with Darren and created new poems together. Here are some of our creations.

First Grade -

Mrs. Radoulovitch's and Mrs. Weymann's classes

Backwards Day

The clouds are green.

The grass is white.

We sleep during the day and

go to school at night.

The students teach the teachers and

the principal hands out gum.

There's a pool in the teacher's lounge in the shape of a pizza drum.

The library is filled with candy and

the gym is filled with money.

Instead of writing with pencils, we write with markers filled with honey.  

Third Grade -

Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Walter's Class

Our Principal from Outer Space

Our principal from outerspace has gooey green slime dripping down her face.

She walks on the ceiling and dances on the walls.

She hands out eye balls when you run in the halls.

She wears tinfoil and astroid hats.

She flys to school in a milky way ship that's driven by sixteen headed cats.

If you get a hundred on your test she'll cover you with drool,

And if you believe all this , you're an April Fool!

 

Third Grade -

Mr. Dubois and Mrs. O'Donnell

Haunted School

If you came to our haunted school,

watch out fro Principal Drool.

The evil lunch lady serves eyeballs for lunch,

with skull cups filled with slimey punch.

The students and teachers fly around the halls.

There are alien eyes glaring at you from the walls.

I just woke up and discovered this was a dream,

But when I saw my third grade teacher, I started to scream!
