By Mrs. Seawell ’s 4th graders
Stony Point Elementary School January 2015
We dedicate this book tototo Stony Point School because it means Mrs. Seawell and Mrs. Mary Lou.
Mrs. Seawell gave us courage to work through this process. She taught us how to write cinquains. She is a great teacher and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Mrs. Mary Lou taught us about watercolors and how to make our pictures show the words.
Our Weather Event PPProcessProcess
First, we studied weather. We each chose a weather event. We found photos on our computers. We made a sketch of what we wanted our picture to look like. We painted with watercolor paints on watercolor paper. We made our details with colored pencils. After researching our weather, we wrote cinquains. A cinquain is a poem that does not rhyme. Here are the steps.
