When Flowers Have a Nice Future

Get ready for a rainbow of poetry! First graders have been talking more and more about what makes poetry poetry. In Monday’s class, we talked about how poetry can be a way of playing with words. We practiced this idea by connecting colors to emotions, activities, and other inventions of our imaginations!
