Inspiration!

Spring has sprung!  We began our day by taking some advice from a teacher we really admire, Mr. Draper.  We read “The Edge of Spring” on his blog, and then we ventured out to observe our world more closely.  Maybe we were missing things right there before us!  We paused to really listen and look at spring.

Here are a few lines of the fourth graders’ poems.  Read the full poem on their blogs.  (See the links on your right.)

“Buds on the trees,

Birds chirping,

Bumpy bark . . .”

“I can smell the freshly growing grass and see sprouts growing all around . . . . “

“Fallen trees, hmmm?  A branch with moss on it . . . . “

“Ant holes.  

Grass is turning spring colors . . . . “

“Fruit flies searching for food along the rim of the jungly woods . . .”

“Tweet, tweet, go the birds

that are all around, circling the world.”

“Buds starting to bloom . . . . “

“The whistling, whipping wind before me

Blows the blooming flowers.”

“The trees are swaying . . .”

“In early April, I SEE!”

As Mr. Draper says, “Enjoy the wonderment!”
