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.
