Mr. Fred Scofield 'the haiku man'

Grade Three have had the pleasure of working with Fred Scofield who is a poet specializing in Japanese poetry called haiku. He has been working with the students to help them understand what haiku is. He took the students out into their environment and helped them develop their own haiku.

Supported by Mrs. Gunn (art), Mrs. Borofsky-Borchert (drama and movement), and Mr. Thompson (music) the students of third grade have been using what they have leanrt in their workshops with the artists Mrs. Godsmark (Illustration), Mr. Hall (music) and Mrs. Coffey (dramatic reading) to create ways to deliver their haiku. They will be sharing these on Friday afternoon with all of third grade and many will be performing in assembly next week.
