Money Can't Buy Everything Poems

I first taught the the Money Can't Buy Everything poem template when I taught in public schools in Los Angeles in the mid-90's. My population of children couldn't have been more different to our kids at MIS. I love seeing how a project evolves over time and the way different children can take a writing project in a new direction. Enjoy the beautiful images created by your children and see how they use repetition to give their writing shape.

Money Can't Buy Everything

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy family.
Family, it's too strong,
it's hopeless if you try to break the bond.
Nope, wrong number.
Family sticks like super glue.
If you bike super fast with your family
you still can't get away.
They will always catch up and
be there for you.

Money can't buy going to the gym
and shooting hoops with my dad.
It can't buy the feeling of when I swim
a race in the water. It makes me feel
super. It's really fun.

they help me build a fort.
They help me do a lot of things
like helping me build a ginormous
sand castle.
Most of all, money can't buy
love or family.
