Second graders have been writing many different types of poetry over the last few weeks. This week students focused on writing a Japanese form of poetry called haikus. Haikus have a specific format of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. Students wrote haikus about animals, then as a class we played a guessing game. The following are the haikus that were created!

These swimming creatures so cool
