For our first session upon returning from spring break, I thought we could spend time reviewing, as well as looking at some illustrated poetry books and reading poems aloud. This is what we did in Ms. Pendola’s class, before testing our rhyming skills!
Students in Ms. Brist’s class read “I Eat Kids, Yum-Yum” by Dennis Lee and then used whiteboards to draw some imaginary monsters:
“Writing poetry makes me feel like I can see myself, like I can see my reflection, but not in a mirror, in the world. I write and I know I can be reflected.”
-Oscar S.
“Writing poetry makes me feel free.”
-Buenda D.
“Writing poetry is like your best friend.”
-Jessica M.
