Room 221 had a wonderful treat yesterday! Poet/author Jacqueline Davies came and shared her love of poetry with us. She opened up her nature journals so we could see her process. The children were able to try out her techniques. She supplied them with beautiful things to draw - daffodils, cyclamen, an aloe plant, pussy willows, pine cones, even crickets! As the children drew, they added words describing what they saw. Ms. Davies challenged them to use adjectives and includes comparisons like 'the arms of the plant reached out like the legs of an octopus.'
We'll be finishing our creations today. We'll have them displayed soon, so come in and have a peek. We know you'll be impressed!
Special thanks to the PTC Creative Arts Committee for making this possible. :o)
