Writer's Workshop

Today in Writer's Workshop students used a special item from the Poetry Museum to practice using adjectives.  Students are learning that poets describe items in vivid details.  Mr. Hoffman taught the students how to use Kidspiration to take photos of the items and create a web of awesome adjectives!
