Good Luck Family

For today’s poetry camp at Sabin, we played a favorite warm up game (“Why were you late to work?”) before settling into our poems about luck. Did you know that many consider today’s date, 7/7, to be a lucky one? We talked about our lucky numbers and colors before reading “Good Luck Gold” by Janet Wong. While the poet talks about lucky gold jewelry, we discussed other things that can be lucky – like people! Students wrote their good luck poems and then made their own good luck bracelets, cause it’s not really summer camp without making bracelets 🙂 After that, we had a very musical afternoon with Ms. Musu’s lesson on poems and music, which included a lot of singing along to KATSEYE songs. Enjoy two poems below!

Good Luck Great Grandma Genesis D.

My great grandma
is good luck because
when I see her
she makes me happy
and she makes me good food
my favorite food that she
makes me is arroz con
gandules con maduros.

Good Luck Big Sister Everly C. 

When I was five I
told mom I want a
sibling. When mom and
her boyfriend came
back from Florida she
surprised me in the
car that I was gonna
be a big sister!
I am very excited!!
When Halanna started to
grow up I felt sad
because I miss her
as a baby. I can’t wait
to see how
good she will do at
school. I’m looking
forward to going to
different places
together.
