We are in the middle of another Junie B. Jones book: Junie B. First Grader: Cheater Pants.

In the last chapter, Junie B. and her classmates had to create cinquains (pronounced sin-cane).  We decided to give it a try in class.  Here is our cinquain:

Monkeys
Brown, Active
Jumping, Swinging, Walking
They swing on trees
Primates

In the comments, try your own cinquain.  Remember, the order goes like this:
1st line: 1 word title (a noun)
2nd line: 2 adjectives (describing words) about the title
3rd line: 3 action words that tell what the title word does (usually ends in -ing)
4th line: a 4 word phrase that express a thought or feeling about the title
5th line: 1 word that means the same thing as your title (a synonym)
