Emma Eggy Bread, Moses and Magnets

We have been writing poems. Here is a rhyming poem ...

EMMA EGGY BREAD

By  Louisa  Kirsten  Monger

This is Emma Eggy Bread.

Emma was sewing with thread,

Before she went to  bed

She was sewing a dress  that  was  red

“I am   bit  tired” Emma said

“And  I  have a  got  a  ache  in  my  head

I’ll  get  better  if  I  go  to  bed.”

We have also been learning all about the Underground Railroad. We have been reading "Listen to the Whippoorwill" and "The Drinking Gourd" and have written our own spirituals and slave songs.

Moses

            

Moses, Moses, people follow Moses.

We’re goin’ up  to  Canaan.

We’re goin’ to  the  Promised Land.

Moses, Moses, people follow Moses.

We’re  lookin’ up  to  Heaven

Lookin’ up at  the  stars.

Moses, Moses, people follow Moses.

Egyptians are a comin’

Run  for  your life.

Moses, Moses, people follow Moses.

Get  to  the river 

It’s  safe on the other  side.

Moses, Moses, people follow Moses.

We have been learning about magnets. Here is a something we made to show how the same poles on magnets push apart. We also made a compass with a needle.
