May Bulletin Board (Bird Haikus)

May is our classroom's month to adorn the bulletin board to the left of the office.  We decided to create  haikus about each students' bird with an accompanying watercolor.  These are just 10 of the 28 pieces (there are still a good number of students needing to finish), and the rest will be hung outside of our classroom.  The quality of each piece (both the poem and the painting) is astounding.  I am always thoroughly impressed the the artistic qualities of each student in my class.
