In November, after reading several fall books, the students went outside and sketched one of the trees in the school yard and then came inside to paint these watercolors. Using their pictures as inspiration students then wrote several poems, one acrostic for fall/autumn/harvest, one acrostic for Thanksgiving, and one sensory poem about fall. Then they chose their favorite poem to hang in the hall with their tree picture. Click on any picture to see a full size version.
