KEEPING A NOTEBOOK 5: OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
Outside my window..
Below is the poem that Amy Ludwig Vanderwater wrote on day 5 of Keeping a Notebook. My daughters and I looked outside our downstairs window and wrote about what we observed. We enjoyed comparing the different things that we saw when we looked out the same window.
