Poetry Writing

 Over the last month we worked on writing and illustrating 4 different poems in our writing block.  The students wrote acrostic poems, portrait poems, haikus, and 2 words on a line poems.  After writing at least 3 of each poem, each student picked out their favorite of each poem to publish.  The final page in our booklets is "About the Author."  On this page the students are able to share more about themselves with their readers. Their books turned out beautiful!  We shared our booklets with the first graders once they were finished.
