Welcome to Our Blog!

Our classroom blog was created as a place where we can meet online together to reflect on and explore ideas, share opinions, discuss various topics and also create! I am so excited to be a part of all the learning that is going to go on here and I hope you are, too! Now, what about the name of our blog? The Read Wheelbarrow was chosen as a "play on words" and refers to a very interesting poem (I think) by William Carlos Williams called The Red Wheelbarrow. It is the first of many, many poems we will read and discuss. With it our blogging adventure begins...so, happy blogging everyone!

  1. My favourite poem is who has seen the wind because in grade 3 in music we did who has seen the wind and it was a very exciting and it was alot of fun doing the poem. Also I like it because while doing the poem and practising our instruments we lernt about a country and in that country it has alot of diffrent things that I never thought that exsisted. Last but not least I liked it because in grade 3 that year gave me great memories that I will always keep.

  4. I think that the poem named flint was my favourite poem because at the time my teacher Ms.Kutertan gave us a project to find what flint was and by posting that poem it helped me understand what flint was so i think that was the best poem because it help us on our project.A poem that i hated was the snow hiku because the poems were not very long so it did'nt give much information so what i'm also trying to say is that i don't like hiku poems in genaral so thats why i didn't like the snow hiku.

  5. My favourite poem was the snow haiku's by Regis Auffrey. It was my favourite it was about snow and I like snow. I also liked the snow haiku because I find that haiku's are fun to do it is also tricky to do 5 syllables 7 syllables and the 5 syllables. The poem I liked the least was the red wheel barrow because I read it a bunch of times.

  7. Hi,MS.Kutertan!My favorite poem was The Haunted House.I realy liked the way they wrote the poem. It was great!All the night these souls and witch's are calling kids and people to get there flesh and blood, save them for a feast some day.It would be like they would light some light's on there house of ruin's, and I know that they callpeople to join but after the fun's over, they kill all ther people, and feed on it.Bye, for now.But don't disturb,and get caught, in the house of ruin's-The house of Witch's,Ghost's, and Souls of EVIL!Bye!Andaleeb 2011!!!!!!!!

  8. The poem I like the best is Snow Haiku. I like Snow Haiku because I did that a lot in my other school and I did haiku poems so much that I started to write them at home and everywhere I go and it is hard! I don't like Who has seen the Wind.

    Ms.Kutertan, We like "Flint" because it talks about diamonds and emeralds. We don't like "Siren Song" because they fooled us with a cry for help!

  11. I really like all of the poems, but my favourite one was Haunted House and the least favourrite poem that I didn’t like was the Drangons are Singing, because dragons don’t sing, so I didn’t like that one.

  14. For me, my favouite poem is The Eagle. It inspires me and makes me feel bold and free! It makes me think of blue skies and sunshine and forget the snow. It makes me feel fast, like being on the Sky Screamer, but I don't really HAVE to go on it again if I just read this poem (because it was terrifying...which can be a powerful emotion, but I'm not always brave enough to be terrified...!) I think it must be an awesome thing to be compared to a thunderbolt...
