Poetry Jams, Flower Planting, Chess and Drawing under the Willow Tree

We are very fortunate to have access to the community garden on 9th and C. We took our class this morning to celebrate the wonderful poetry they have written. We had an action packed morning there!

First up was our Poetry Jam. Five children read aloud their own poems in front of the audience at our 'poetry venue'. Over the next few weeks the rest of our poets will get their chance to read their poems into the mic. There was even time for a questions and comments session afterwards! 

After our Poetry Jam we took the opportunity to plant some flowers in our EVCS flower garden behind the steps. This was a fun start to our new plants unit in science. While some kids planted flowers, others enjoyed a game of chess in the beautiful weather, and others sketched nature drawings under the willow tree.

A fun morning was had by all!
