What is your favorite season? The 2nd graders at Darwin like them all! I asked the students to start by writing about their favorite season, and then see if they could write one poem for each season.
March is funny weather. Some days its winter and other days, spring. Given the changes outside and the student’s increasing skill with line breaks and imagery, it was the right time to try out seasonal haiku, inspired by Issa.
