June 1: Art and Poetry

I was the kind of kid who liked to keep all my school work. I was always so proud of my projects, and I never wanted to throw them away. Maybe that's why I like to have my students create some things that they can keep forever. All year long we have been writing poetry to go along with our art projects. I have been keeping it all for the kids and today we assembled our art/ poetry books. It turns out to be a pretty cool book if they've turned in all their work during the year. I hope it is something they will keep and look at in ten years and remember the fun things we did in 5th grade.
