Who would have know that first graders are such wonderful poets? We have been listening to poets that use descriptive action words and sound words that help us to visualize what a poet is thinking. We have tried our hand at writing our own descriptive poems in poetic form. It is nothing like writing a story with complete sentences. The students came up with a wide range of topics for their first poems and I must admit, I was definitely impressed with the details they incorporated. They really used their imaginations and their senses in their writing. What would you call an exciting topic for a poem?
