What I’m Reading

by Maria Gianferrari
Illustrated by Jieting Chen
 
Maria Gianferrari was generous enough to send me an F&G of ICE CYCLE that comes out on October 4.
 
I love a good science poetry book and this one does not disappoint! This book is a poetry collection of all different types of ice.
 
Maria is a master of fabulous word choice. This whole book could be a study in strong verbs.
 
Things teachers could use this book for in the classroom:
  • Word Choice–especially VERBS!
  • States of matter
  • Water cycle
  • Turning science concepts into beautifully written poetry
I normally am not a fan of winter, but I anticipate writing some icy poems with students while in the midst of icy weather.
