After questioning in our first sessions and comparing in our second sessions, it was time for Nettelhorst 2nd graders to get down to the business of seeing for our third sessions. We talked about how poets use words to create imagery, or, use words to help our imaginations see pictures. Using the “Swan of Bees” format, students played with out-of-the-box thinking to come up with some things for you to see, or envision. Have fun!
