Two Voice Poem

In our class we wrote a Two Voice Poem. We all had to make it about a marine mammal. My animals were seal and sea lion. My partner was Rowan. He had a fish and tiger shark. We had a mentor text, the writer was Paul Fleischman. We had the poem fireflies to study. It took a lot of practice. At first it was a fledgling poem but then it was prodigious. In my poem I am the seal and Rowan is the sea lion. I think my poem turned out great!

The Lagoon Field Trip

In our class we went on an amazing field trip to the lagoon. It was a nice day and it was serene. I saw a beautiful white egret, a fast lizard, fiddler crab (I though it was interesting that the fiddler crab was a real crab), and we saw a king snake. My favorite was the egret, I thought it was mating. We also took field notes. Field notes are where we take field notes of what we see. It was not fresh water it was not salty water it was brackish water brackish water is both. We all used binoculars, my partner was Alex. In my car was Max, Gus, Alex and me. By the way we went to the San Elijo lagoon. I heard many amazing sounds. It was so so fun.
