Plant Poetry

The first graders in 1R are not only poets, but scientists too!  The boys and girls learned that poets use their five senses to write descriptive poems that paint vivid pictures for their readers. The children practiced these skills with their mystery seed plants from the fall. They recorded their observations using descriptive sensory words for their senses of sight, smell, touch, and hearing. The students shared their observations with one another, and then worked together as a class to write a sensory poem about plants!
