Summer Is...
Sense Poems      August 2003
          We became poets and illustrators during our first week of school, combining Science and Language Arts State Standards requirements in this writing assignment. We:
* described summer associations using our five senses (PA State Standard 3.2.3B)
* wrote poetry practicing the writing process (PA State Standard 1.5.3 E & F)
* used our classroom computers for our final copies (PA State Standard 3.7.3D). 
Our illustrations were done with colored pencils- very grown up this year!

Summer Is...

Summer is chili pepper red
It tastes like strawberry ice cream
It smells like millions of flowers
Summer reminds me of colorful butterflies
And sounds like brown squirrels
Summer feels great!

Summer Is...

Summer is yellow
It tastes like hard corn
It smells like creamy honey
Summer reminds me of frisky squirrels
And sounds like falling leaves
Summer feels breezy

Summer Is...

Summer is shiny gold
It tastes like Mexican tacos
It smells like barbeque
Summer reminds me of cool water
And sounds like gushing waterfalls
Summer feels very good

Summer Is...

Summer is bright yellow
It tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream
It smells like chlorine
Summer reminds me of big green leaves
And sounds like frogs croaking and birds chirping
Summer feels very hot

Summer Is...

Summer is sea green
It tastes like juicy cantaloupe
It smells like fresh air
Summer reminds me of my cousin's birthday
And sounds like crickets
Summer feels very hot

Summer Is...

Summer is sky-blue
It tastes like just picked fresh ripe peaches
It smells like green grass and yellow flowers
Summer reminds me of green leaves and a bright sun
And sounds like birds chirping loudly
Summer feels nice and hot
