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!
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 SisterEverly C.Â
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.
