Our Haiku Poem

We have been learning about Asia for the past few weeks, and are currently "visiting" Japan. Something fun we learned about today was Haiku poetry, which originated in Japan.

A Haiku poem is short - only 3 lines - and talks about something in nature.

Line 1 should have 5 syllables.

Line 2 should have 7 syllables.

Line 3 should have 5 syllables.

The kids and I worked together on making two poems today in this style of poetry. Here is one that we came up with: 

FLOWERS  IN SPRING

Flowers are pretty.

Roses, daisies, violets.

Flowers bloom in Spring.
