Sample Poems by 2^nd Graders: Walking to the Vernal Pool in Sawmill Hills

At the vernal pool

I see a blue spotted salamander

I hear loud birds

I smell fresh air fresh green leaves

I feel smushy moss

I see scaly pillbugs

I see some leafy plants

I see some bugs crawling

I see some water moving

At the vernal pool.

~ Hannah

The Spider

I lift up a rock

Put him in a box

And look at his eight legs and scaly skin.

He tips over in his box…

AND STAYS ON

TOP!

He’s got no gravity!

Wow that spider’s cool!

~ Taylor

Jumpy Mud

I feel

Jumpy mud

At the stream

It feels like a

Little trampoline

Down under the ground

We all take a turn

Jumping.

~ by Savanna

The Birds

I hear a bird going

Chirp chirp in the woods.

I copied the bird that

Was going chirp chirp.

I went chirp chirp

With the bird.
