Presentations and Original Haikus

Today, students enjoyed the beautiful sunshine outside, presenting their Food Truck Projects, and showcasing their original Haiku poems.

After lots of strategizing and planning, the 5th Grade Food Truck Festival is finally upon us. As practice for our upcoming “Grandfriends’ Day” celebration, students were so excited to present their creations to each other. Each students’ food truck includes a title, menu, theme, featured item, descriptive piece, and grid layout of the inside.

This week, fifth graders also researched and discussed their favorite Haiku poems. That was an inspiring activity that sparked a lot of in-depth discussion on simile, metaphor, imagery, and pun. After reviewing Haiku requirements, each student participated in brainstorming, writing, and illustrating an original Haiku poem. Please ask them to share their poems with you, they truly did a beautiful job!
