Poppies

Yesterday the children used fine-tip Sharpies to draw a poppy from a picture of their choice.  They observed the picture carefully for shapes and details.  Next, they used water colours and painted in the picture.  The results were absolutely incredible!!

 

 

Here are the cinquain poems written by Division 1 students:
