So often, my students responded to their learning in science questions (topics) by communicating the answers in poems. I believe all the disciplines ask for careful and thoughtful observation, really 'knowing'! This sounds like a wonderful 'next' step. Thank you for continuing on!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-5056880862341653662013-11-02T18:53:34.776-05:002013-11-02T18:53:34.776-05:00You've created another winner!

Don Graves used to always say that scientists and poets were essentially cut from the same cloth- both had to be careful, careful, careful observers of the world. Love, love, love the idea of poetry and science.<br />If you need any other ideas, I wish there could be a poetry anthology of great children's poetry in Spanish!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-72394810695122624782013-11-01T12:50:19.757-05:002013-11-01T12:50:19.757-05:00Matt: Leslie Bulion not only knows about this proj...Matt: Leslie Bulion not only knows about this project, but she wrote 4 amazing poems for the book: one very funny poem on testing a hypothesis, two everything-you-need-to-know poems on the water cycle, and one poem on ocean explorer Sylvia Earle.
