Poetry with Ms. Nash's 2nd Graders

This week, Ms. Nash's second graders began their poetry unit! On the first day, they got to read all sorts of poems--some that rhymed, some that were silly, some that were just interesting or even a little weird! Then the students wrote sentences to explain what poetry is. Here are some of their ideas:

Poetry makes you feel like you're there.Poetry is written a special way.Poetry is expressions.Poetry is words that echo in your head.Poetry is magical!Poetry can be real or fake. Poetry makes you happy or sad.Poetry is fun sentences!

We're so excited to keep learning about poetry for the next few weeks!
