poets and we know it...

it's been many months since i've posted anything. we have been busier than ever in 3rd grade. the kids are blowing me away with all of the higher-level thinking they are doing. i know adults who aren't as talented or as thoughtful as my students in the ways they craft their writing. we are writing diamantes and cinquains this month. as they are published, i will post them here. this is one the students wrote as a class comparing our intern and me.
