I Wish My Crayons Could Talk: Darwin Poetry Week 1!

The residency begins! The first week we have lots to talk about—what is a poem, anyway? Why are poetic lines different? The Darwin second graders had a great conversation about what poetry is, and the wrote of poem of wishes—real and imaginary. I’m delighted to spend the rest of the year with these classes! Enjoy the poems!
