Just like we have stacked layers of recycled Trader Joe's bags with layers of scrap paper and tissue, we also stacked our Preamble to the Kids' Constitution onto the Constitution of the United States. Eric chose the words "stacking together," which makes a lot of sense! Our poem is nearing its end now...
Who will add their words next?
Love,
Ms. Mordhorst

BRAINSTORMING
work hard, seems like, to think, we love,
apart and together,
***********************************************
When we work
together
it feels fun
and
difficult like Lego
pieces,
feels like struggling
with
frustration and figuring
what
to do. We
live like Legos,
pushing and building,
pulling and flipping,
lifting and twisting.
We only have
to
listen to our
friends
when we build
Lego
factories, stack together

ReplyDeleteI love your Earth Day Earth! Some of my students made a big poster out of recyclables (and natural items -- sticks and pinecones -- too! Great minds!!

Lots of life is just that! It's great to have friends and workers alongside to help with the struggles!
Great job!
I wonder what they are stacking together? Ideas? Dreams? Words? Compromises? I wonder whether you all will make up any words to describe what you are doing!
ReplyDeleteWow, this poem is becoming an impressive construction too— you all are experts in WORD lego! Great teamwork!
