Creative writing

We have used writing time this week to think about all of the many things we are thankful for. We used a graphic organizer to help us start our brainstorming and create lists we could use as we wrote our poems. Then we started the writing process. Many "Thankful" poems were written. We had so, so many things that we enjoy in our lives. It is nice to think about being thankful, instead of just wanting more things.  After the writing was finished, we typed our poems into a Word document to print off on watercolor paper. Today Mrs. Howard took a deep breath and brought out the watercolor paints. Each poem had been covered with a leaf cutout. Everybody enjoyed painting their poems with fall colors. Our creative writing masterpieces will be on display for our feast tomorrow.
