Descriptive Writing Highlights

Our Walk to the meadow this week inspired some descriptive writing by some our students in Mrs. Whitlock's class. Here are some photos taken from the Walk as well as a couple pieces of writing that have been spotlighted:





Milkweed

by Khalida

          We saw a milkweed in the meadow on our walk. The milkweed has brown oval seeds. Beside the seeds, there is fluffy white floss. The fluffy white floss helps it fly. The sticky milk attracts butterflies. The stem holds the milkweed so it can stand and grow.





Milkweed

          We saw milkweed in the meadow on our walk. I saw brown seeds inside the pod. The pod was green and sticky and some of the pod was rough. The fluffy white floss helps the seed fly. The white sticky milk attracts insects.
