This week I am featuring the poems from Mr. Haines third grade class. We did research on countries using the database Culture Grams as part of their social studies. Then we took our information to craft poems as we are users and creators of information. Students used the cinquain format.

Jone,
A great example of using research and integrating poetry into the content areas. Can’t wait to share these with the teachers at my school! Thanks!
