Acrostic Poems at Darwin

This week at Darwin we wrote acrostic poems! It was such a fun way to make language a game. We picked random words from a ziploc bags and then wrote poems from them. Students had a lot of fun playing with words, thinking of sentences that started with their beginning letter, and many traded words with their friends to write more poems!
