Post-It Poetry

The kids had a great time playing around with words (and Post-Its that stick!).  They were asked to reflect upon perseverance, what it feels like, sounds like, looks like, times when they have used perseverance and times when they have not ....

What resulted is a lot of really great "stuff", ideas that became moshed together to form group poetry.  It took some doing, but working collaboratively they created something to be proud of!

Enjoy our poetry ... the journey we have begun will take us to examine the perseverance of scientists as they discover and work with DNA and the time period of the "Roaring Twenties".  We will also use perseverance as we continue writing response paragraphs for the novel we are reading and solving inequalities and graphing them in math!

Whew!  That's a lot of work to be done!
