Winter Inside

To finish up our authors and illustrators unit, the 1st and 2nd graders had a chance to be illustrators themselves! 

We read the poem "Winter Inside" by Douglas Florian. 

Winter Inside

Winter is cold.

Winter is ice.

But winter inside 

Is cozy and nice.

Winter is snow.

Winter is sleet.

But winter inside 

Is fireplace feet.

Winter is bitter.

Winter is biting.

But winter inside 

Is very inviting.

After brainstorming some imagery to go along with the poems, students received a copy of "Winter Inside" with 2 lines written on each page. Then, they illustrated the poetry book!
