FALL

Week six is over! This week I got to witness a lesson for the first time. This lesson was an introduction to a new writing choice. The piece the students were learning to write was an acrostic poem. The kids were so excited for this. I agree that acrostic poems are fun. I think poems are a simple way of showing creativity and warming up the student’s brains. It gets the second graders thinking about good description words which has the potential of helping them with other writing pieces. The class example we used was FALL. (I posted an image below) The second graders came up with the whole poem as a class.
