We Had Another Publishing Party!!!

 We loved looking at each other's art and hearing the poems that were created from the music and art and the words we shared with one another.  It was so awesome when we heard a word we had given a friend, in their poem!

We Have Been Learning Parts of Speech! Who Knew It Could Be So Fun?!?!

We Learned about verbs by acting them out!  Then we pushed ourselves to come up with deliciously descriptive strong verbs!  Of course, we got to act out those words too!  Students are learning to write complete sentences, that will turn into paragraphs, that will turn into amazing pieces of writing!!!

We also sang along with some "Schoolhouse Rock"!

Poetry in Motion: Finding Inspiration Through Music, Art & Our Community Of Writers

 During mindfulness, we listened to music.  We illustrated what we heard, felt & saw in our imaginations.  Sometimes we closed our eyes to better connect with the music, and just let our art flow from our bodies.

When the music stopped, we walked around and described each other's art using deliciously descriptive words.  Then we used the inspiration from our art, and the words before us, to write poems!  What we ended up with was pure magic!  We loved sharing our art and poems with one another today!
