January is cold, and it is time for Gooney Bird Greene to bring out her special brain-warming hat. Mrs. Pidgeon is teaching the class about poetry, and Gooney Bird needs to stimulate her brain by keeping it warm. The students experiment with Haikus, couplets, and limericks. Along the way, the class discovers that writing poetry is hard work and requires creative thinking. When the students receive some terrible news concerning Mrs. Pidgeon, Gooney Bird organizes the class to write a poem that is very important to them.--Ministry of Education website.
