During our Colorful Spring unit we decided to cover not only Spring, but
also different forms of Poetry. We learned about and wrote, as a class
and individually, four different kinds of poems: 4-Line, Five Senses,
Acrostic, and Cinquain.
We mostly liked the 4-Line and Acrostic poems best! Along with this we
read lots of books related to spring. We voted on our class favorite and
Wake Up, It's Spring! by Lisa Campbell Ernst won by a long shot!
Mrs. Z thinks it's our favorite because we liked the repeated shouting
of "...and the _____ woke up!" best.
Our class' first two poems were 4-Line poems written together. Before
writing them, we made a large web in the shape of a tree that is
blooming and wrote everything we could think of that had to do with
Spring on it. We wrote things we see, smell, hear, taste, touch, like,
and dislike during Springtime. This was hard at first, but after
thinking about all our stories and taking a Spring Walk on the
playground it became easier!! It wound up being a lot of fun and really
helped get our brains going to write our poems.
Below are our two class poems written together:
