Dear Students,

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme. Here's a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end.

Now it's your turn. I want you to post a Haiku. I can't wait to read them.

Hi Citizen Scientists!

Monarchs have an important role in our community and I want you to learn more about them. Go to the Journey North website by clicking on the Journey North title below and research Monarchs.  Choose 3 interesting facts and record them in your Science Notebooks. Choose your favorite fact and post it.
