Spine Poetry

Have you ever heard of Spine Poetry?

In 4A, we have been reading poems and sharing them with our class. Now, we're going to start sharing them with everyone else!

Mrs. Alaniz says that April is National Poetry Month. So we have started celebrating good poems. Today we started writing poems, but we wrote them with books.  Here's how:

Here's another one:

This one is kind of funny!
