Imagine their surprise

Imagine the faces of fourth graders when I asked them to face the chalk board today in art class and I told them we would be writing poetry.  They were crushed for a moment.  Then we did two poems together and they got to create their own.  Poetry is not so bad after all!  It is also an Art Form and in this case a nice reminder of some grammar skills too......sssshhhhh.....that is not something most of us like to talk about but it happened successfully today with the Fourth graders.
