4th Graders Play With "Out of the Box" Thinking

4th Graders Play With “Out of the Box” Thinking

I feel proud to work with Shoesmith 4th graders, who are willing to share their ideas, feelings, questions, and imaginations with me every class session! For our 5th session, we played around with out-of-the-box thinking, coming up with ideas for our “Swan of Bees” styled poems. “Swan of Bees” poems join unlikely things, such as a piece of furniture with a favorite food. Many of the students’ ideas put me in the mind of whimsical “impossible objects!” See what you think. Next week we will write poems based on the ideas generated.
