Today, Brennemann 2nd Graders in Ms. Richter‘s class worked collaboratively to create a recipe for how to cook a poem:
“How to Cook a Wonderful Poem”
by the Class
First: get pencils, papers, and erasers
from your supply caddy
get help with a pot for pouring
an ocean’s worth of ideas
with fire, feathers, and air.
sprinkle some sadness or happiness
maybe some anger, even anxiety

make some chimes and rhymes
Season with

pour into
rocket ship bowls
to eat like soup
