Make a Water Tagxedo

What key words come to mind when you think about clean water? Use the free Tagxedo site to create a word cloud of your key words. Then insert your word cloud as a comment for others to see.

Here is a Tagxedo I made from all the content from the Westglen Clean Water Project Blog.

Our Water Haikus

This morning we went to Grade 4 and we wrote some water Haikus with our Grade 4 buddies. Here is the link to the Haiku website we looked at find out what a Haiku is like. We found out that a Haiku is like a sentence pattern. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 syllables again. We have left our water Haikus as comments. Please leave us your Haiku too!

Cheers,
Grade 2
