April is Poetry Month!

Do you like poetry?

Read and listen to some of the poems below, then try to make your own poem in SeeSaw, along with a picture. If you really can’t make your own poem, you can copy the one below called “Spring Song” into SeeSaw, and draw a picture to go with it. Remember, once you click on SeeSaw, to click on “Log In” button on top right corner, then on “I am a Student”, then on “Google Log In” (top rainbow Google choice)

***Students who can’t get logged onto SeeSaw could write a poem and draw a picture by hand, then email it to wilcoxj@dearbornschools.org

Spring Song

Frogs croak
Rains soak
Chicks peep
Crickets leap
Bees hum
Robins come
Birds sing
It’s spring!
