Wrap Up: What is Red? #ClrPoem

We just completed our second week of the Twitter Time :: Color/Colour Poem Project.  Many more weeks of color to come!

The object of this collaborative project is to create digital images, share original poems, and publish through our classroom Twitter account using the hashtag #clrpoem! Each week a color of the visible spectrum will be showcased! Everyone is invited to participate!

ROY  G  BIV 

One way to remember the visible spectrum is the
ROY G BIV acronym.
(red-orange-yellow-green-blue-*indigo-violet)

Here are some highlights of What is RED? week. There are poems from California, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas, and England!  Thank you to all who participated!
