Well, after the beautiful weather and the relaxing weekend, it was back to work! It was a great day. We started our new Poetry Unit! We started off with a bang and it was very exciting to see the students reading poems and sharing them with each other. Students participated in a Poetry Hunt. Hidden around the room was a variety of poems. Students went around the room to find poems that “spoke” to them. After choosing their favorite poem, students picked out the most interesting words and phrases and described why they chose that poem. Students will be creating a poetry book of their poems. Our goal, at the end, is to publish our own book of poetry.

Stayed tuned to the blog to see the results of our Poetry Tournament, hear poems read by guest poetry readers and more.
