Poetry Month: Day 25 (by Edison)

I chose "Hail" because it has a way of showing how I feel.Also, it tells what really did happen the night it was hailing.
Enjoy!

Hail
"Clank!"
"Clank!"
"Clank!"
Hail hits my roof over and over again.
"Bonk!"
"Bonk!"
"Bonk!"
I wake up, startled
Nothing but darkness
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"BOOM!"
Ice covers the hail and makes it bigger.
"Ka-Boom!"
"Ka-Boom!"
KA-BOOM
Hail can be a very cool form of precipitation

The Bike Race (by Edison)

Katie's mom is in a bike race over the February break. Our class got to make maps of the bike race to help her figure out where all the resting points are along the race. As mathematicians, we go tot think mostly about fractions, such as 1/2 of 60, 1/3 of 60, etc. We worked in pairs and 3s. We made the maps because the people holding the race sent Katie's mom the way she would go, but they didn't tell her where exactly the different stations will be, like cheering stations, resting points, water stations, food wagons, and juice and snack stations. Each of the stations was a different amount of miles into the course. The course is 60 miles long.

Here we're studying the maps our classmates made and leaving them feedback on their work. We'll post pictures of our maps for you later on!
