Read the poem, "The Silliest Teacher in School". What type of poem is it?


The Silliest Teacher in School

BY DARREN SARDELLI


Our teacher gave detention

to the fountains in the hall.

She handed extra homework

to the artwork on the wall.


We saw her point a finger

at a banner and a sign.

She said their bad behavior

was completely out of line.


The principal approached her

and said, “What is all this fuss?

I heard you tried to punish

all the tires on a bus.


“You’ve made the teachers angry

by disrupting all their classes,

so if you want to keep this job,

you have to wear your glasses!”

Read the poem "Recess! Oh, Recess!" What type of poem is it?


Recess! Oh, Recess!

BY DARREN SARDELLI


Recess! Oh, Recess!

We love you! You rule!

You keep us away

from the teachers in school.

Your swings are refreshing.

Your slides are the best.

You give us a break

from a really hard test.


Recess! Oh, Recess!

We want you to know,

you’re sweeter than syrup,

you’re special like snow.

You don’t assign homework.

You make the day fun.

You let us play kickball

and run in the sun.


Recess! Oh, Recess!

You’re first on our list.

We’d be in despair

if you didn’t exist.

We’re happy we have you.

You’re awesome and cool.

Recess! Oh, Recess!

We love you! You rule!
