student silliness

i just put up the rest of april's poetry display in kids' place. several forms of poems are exemplified, and here is my favorite, a limmerick by Sam the Bored 7th Grader:

There once was a very bored teen
who loved to eat things that are green
he ate lots of salad
and then wrote a ballad
about how is mother was mean

... and then below the limmerick he drew a hand writing the limmerick... it's very clever, these children are amazing!

here's another, by Ian, also in 7th grade:

There once was a man named Ned
Who had an enormous bald head
When it was bright
It reflected the light
And people around him fled.

Below this one, Ian drew a man with such a big head that he looks like an alien. I wonder which of his teachers that one is based on?
