PICTURING POETRY

In first grade we do A LOT of writing.  You may have heard about our small moment stories.  We're really good at writing stories about our own lives, because after all we're experts on us!  Our focus right now is zooming in and adding as much detail as possible.  We've been reading and writing some poetry to help us get ideas.  Some poetry is so vivid we can make pictures or movies in our minds of what we hear. Our goal is to put the same juicy words and feeling in our everyday writing!  Check out our pictures from these two vivid poems.
