For a number of weeks, Franny’s class studied poetry and wrote their own poems.  The poems they wrote were bound into their own poetry folder, and they were able to choose their favorite one to publish in the class poetry book.  Her teacher made a point of telling me that Franny really enjoyed writing poems and that she loved the fact that they could be about anything.  Franny wrote about different months (April and March), colors, rainbows, spring, sunshine, and animals.  Of the 20 poems Franny composed, she chose her poem Penguins for the class book.
