First graders are strong, powerful, and fearless! (Well… most of the time!) We learned about amazing poet Maya Angelou and listened to her read from a poem she wrote “for all children who whistle in the dark and who refuse to admit that they’re frightened out of their wits.” The poem is called “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me at All,” and students had different ideas about whether the speaker is afraid or unafraid. These poems voice our remarkable bravery (…which will not be defeated by occasional fears).
Note: This post would contain two collaborative group poems from Ms. Cooley and Ms. Armand’s 1st grade classes about facing fears with bravery.
