Our monthly poems for December

Grade 1 Poem

Sensing The Season

Feel the snowflakes on your face,

Cold as ice, they take their place.

Smell the gingerbread in the air,

Make a house if you dare.

Taste the sweets all around,

Chocolate and candy canes can be found.

Hear the many sounds of the season,

Singing, bells, and music all for a reason.

See the lights that shine in the night,

Colours of the season are red, green and white.

Christmas Around the World PoemBy:  Mr. J. Warman

Christmas is celebrated in many ways,

For children in different places.

Religion and social customs,

Help determine what each person faces.

A lot of tastes, sights, smells and sounds,

Are found in cultural spaces.

Synagogues, mosques, and churches,

Enjoy celebrations of many races.

One thing is for certain at this time of year,

Families from all over gather from far and near.

Our Monthly Poems for November

Grade 1 Poem

Autumn’s Here, Winter’s Coming

Autumn is the time of year when changes are all around,

Leaves change colours, fall from trees and land on the ground.

We like to rake them into piles and jump in them for fun,

Autumn’s cooler and shorter days tell us summer time is done.

Farmers harvest the last of their crops, winter is coming soon,

If you listen carefully, you can hear the final call of the loon.

Many animals are finding dens to hibernate through the cold,

Others have begun to migrate south, in flocks of young and old.

Autumn is such a beautiful season with the colours that it brings,

I’ll have to fill my birdfeeder up for those creatures with wings.

Fall is here, but winter is coming, the cold winds tell us so,

It’s time to dress ourselves up warm from our heads to our toes.

Grade 2 Poem

Animals

By Mr. Warman

The many types of animals are so wild and so cool,

Reptiles and other animals are what we'll learn about at school.

Mammals such as beavers, have hair coming out of their skin,

Reptiles like snakes and alligators have scales to begin.

Some mammals and most reptiles sleep for winter, or hibernate,

Most birds and some mammals move around or migrate.

Animals can be sorted by mammals, retiles, or fish,

There can also be birds, insects, or crustaceans if you wish.

Some lay eggs or have live births or skeletons on the outside,

Others have feathers or fur covering them or skeletons on the inside.

Some animals are extinct, endangered are many others, 

It's time that we remember they're like our sisters and our brothers.

Animals are so amazing to research and learn about,

There's a lot to do to keep them safe,

I'll remember without a doubt.

September's Monthly Poems

Grade 1 Poem

All About Me


I am so special because I am me,
I have two eyes so I can see.
I have a nose so I can smell,
I have ears so I can hear as well.
I have a mouth to eat and taste, 
I have two hands so I can paste.
I have two feet so I can walk,
I have a mouth so I can talk.
I can feel with my skin,
It hurts me when I hit my shin.
I like myself because I am me,
I am so special, you can see.

Grade 2 Poem

Me, Myself and I

Me, myself, and I, how I wish that I could fly,

I have two arms, I move up and down, how I try and try.

I think about my life and how I came to be,

I have mom and dad, it’s true, I have a family.

There are a lot of things I like and some that I do not,

I’m thankful for my family and everything that I’ve got.

I have made many friends, that will last for a long, long time,

I’ll grow up, make good choices, and never commit a crime.

Making good choices means thinking with my brain,

It means using common sense, not forgetting in the rain.

I’m glad that I am who I am, as part of my family tree,

I’ll take every chance I’m given to be the best that I can be.
