the important thing...

Today in writing my kids wrote poems with lots of details based on the book "The Important Book." They could choose a topic they heard in a book we read earlier or they could choose their own. It turned out so cute I wanted to share a few with you. Each poem follows the pattern: "The important thing about ________ is that________." at the beginning and "But the important thing about ________ is that _________."

Enjoy!

"The important thing about fishing is that the pond has to have fish in it. We can catch fish and eat lunch and we can ride in a boat. But the important thing about fishing is that the pond has to have fish in it."

"The important thing about running is that we have energy. We can run fast. We can have fun. But the important thing about running is that we have energy."

"The most important thing about reading is that you learn. You read books. You learn new words. You learn stories. But the important thing about reading is you learn."

"The important thing about fireworks is that it is pretty. You can light it easily and you can see it explode into the sky. You can see it in different colors, in different shapes and ways. But the important thing about fireworks is that it is pretty."
