Colorful
Spring
We were
very excited to participate in another collaborative project. Our goal was to express
ourselves through poetry.
We would be
using poetic expression to tell about the sights and sounds and colors of Spring.
We
learned about the
Five Senses
Poetry format. |
I see .........
I hear......
I smell......
I taste.....
I feel.....
I know... |
Then,
we read books
about the colors of spring
(particularily in our community) |

We
had the opportunity to use watercolors to create landscapes that include spring flowers. |
Roses of white, purple and red
The sweet smell
of the flower
Singing of happy
birds
Silky soft
petals
Sweet nectar of
the yellow flower
I love the smell
of roses. |
Together
we wrote a collaborative poem about roses. |
 (roses
in our very own school courtyard) |
| We
wrote individual poems about the colors we see in springtime. A few of us even had time to
type them up and print them out! |
