Create a "cherry blossom tree branch" on a classroom wall using brown paper, scissors and wall-safe tape.
-
Give each student a daisy-shaped Post-it® Note on which to compose a springtime-themed haiku. The haiku is a Japanese poetry form that consists of 17 total syllables divided into five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the last line.
-
As students complete their poems, invite them to add their "blossom" to the classroom branch.
-
When the branch is covered in blossoms, host a reading to share the beautiful poetry the class created.
