Secret Poems

During our Environmental Education class today, we took a walk into our woods and wrote poetry!

Mrs. Szalay asked us to listen and look, so that everyone could share their observations.

We divided up into two writing groups and each member of the group whispered their ideas to either Mrs. Szalay or Ms. Martin, depending on which group you were in.  The teachers wrote down everyone's thoughts and then we took turns presenting our results!  

We ended up with 2 wonderful poems!

Mrs. Szalay's Group's Secret Poem

Bird chirping

the sound of the river

bones we don't know who they belong too...

bones can be hard or light

leaves and stones shaped like caves: dark

water falls

I love Mother Nature

plants grow

scat from birds

plants on trees!

the waterfall looks like somebody spilled water all over

hole in a rock

trees are growing fast

Ms. Martin's Group's Secret Poem

Lakes

the brown bridge over the stream

lots of green leaves

nettles!

I hear water running

we found a hard bone

I hear the water - it sounds like the ocean

I hear a water fountain

trees

leaves of green

I see a frog!
