Spider Poems

During the week of October 26, in the LIS Library we are researching spiders, then writing poems about them, then creating spiders from chenille stems. Here are some excerpts from our spider poems:

I am a swiftly beautiful predator, I am a black widow.

I dream that I am flying on my web in the sky.

I hear the fly’s wings’ vibrations.

(by Katie, Kim, Allyssa A. and Cindy)

I feel the silky webs move. I know the cricket is near.

I move swiftly across my web to catch my prey.

(Alyssa T., Erlinda, and Sofia)

I am a desert tarantula.

I see a car fixing to run over me.

I hear a vroom, vroom.

(Paige, Anna, Chancey, and Elle)

I am a black widow.

I see darkness in my future.

I need another husband.

(Brenden, Isaac, Daniel, Ruben)

I dream of Spiderman.

(Ryan T., Martha A., Dominic S. and Carine S.)

WOW! We have some incredible writers at work here! After we finished our writing, it was fun to read books with spiders perched on top of our heads!

Hooray! Student Book Reviews!

Wow! What a great surprise! I logged on to my computer and found that one of our super fifth grade students had posted a book review on Destiny Quest for a Harry Potter book that she’d read! No one told her to or showed her how…she just figured out how to tell everyone about the awesome book she’d just finished! I hope this spark will ignite our community of readers here at LIS to share their thoughts about the books they’re reading!

New reading area for LIS Library

by cyoung on September 8, 2009

in Levelland Intermediate School,Levelland ISD

 I want our library at LIS to be inviting and comfortable for our students. I hope they’ll look forward to their library visits and have happy memories of the times we’ve shared together.  I ordered colorful new rugs and chairs last summer and created a relaxed new seating area to add a little more fun to our space.

We’ve got bright, soft maps of Texas and the United States on the floor, circled by beanbag chairs, rockers, and beach-type chairs. After they check out their books, students can relax and read or talk quietly to a friend.

We are wild about reading, and this new place to sit helps us enjoy books even more!  Now can anyone help us think of a catchy name for our new reading area?
