Colorful Spring!
 A Collaborative Internet Literacy Project   Spring 2005

Mrs. Marchant's First Grade
   Show Low Primary School
Show Low, Arizona

 

 

We read The Enormous Carrot and The Enormous Potato and made Venn diagrams to compare the two stories.  Then we read The Little Duck and Hamilton Duck’s Springtime Story. We went outside to look for signs of spring and noticed trees blooming, birds singing, nests and bugs.

*We wrote individual 4 line poems following the pattern “spring is…”.  Then we wrote acrostic poems about spring in Show Low.  This is Nysa’s poem.
