Fireflies Bring Thoughts of Summer...
We have finally finished our integrated art and writing project about fireflies. The results have been fantastic; stunning paintings of warm summer nights watching fireflies accompanied by lovely free verse poems. The students did a great job of thinking like "poets" and were able to experiment with interesting word choice and creating a sense of flow in their writing. If you're at Linwood School, please check out our "Fireflies"!

Your firefly paintings look beautiful! The poem you wrote used very descriptive language! When you use juicy words like "meandering" and "fluttering through the trees", the reader gets a picture in their head! Well done! We are lucky to see fireflies when we go to the lake, they are pretty neat little creatures!
