Acrostic Poems at Darwin

This week at Darwin we wrote acrostic poems! It was such a fun way to make language a game. We picked random words from a ziploc bags and then wrote poems from them. Students had a lot of fun playing with words, thinking of sentences that started with their beginning letter, and many traded words with their friends to write more poems!

Here are this week’s featured poets!
