 The
Chippewa School third grade classes have been having a wonderful time
learning about spring. Our classroom teachers, Miss Brandt, Mrs. Kenney,
Mrs. Patnaude, and Mrs. Tracy, and our enrichment teacher, Mrs.
Greenwald, read some books about spring and other books about poetry to
us. Our favorite book was a poetry book about spring. It is called
Spring, An Alphabet Acrostic by Steven Schnur and illustrated by
Leslie Evans.
Over spring break, we all had to take a nature walk and make a list of
all the signs of spring we saw, including all the color words they made
us think about. We used our lists to write our class poems. We wrote
five senses poems, acrostics, haiku, and cinquains. Each class
then voted on which of their poems were the favorites. We hope you enjoy
our views of spring.

1Spring Five
Senses Poem
By Miss Brandt’s Third Grade
In spring, we
see
white, fluffy clouds dancing
across the beautiful, blue sky.
In spring, we
hear
the orange basketball swooshing
through the net.
In spring, we
feel
the itchy emerald green grass
on our bare feet.
In spring, we
taste
red, juicy strawberries.
In spring, we
smell
the fresh, diamond clear air.
