The last hour of the last day of school is set aside for our annual poetry reading. Kids dress in black, sport a beret and look very "beat generation". We will snap our fingers instead of applaud (you'll find out why when you join us!)
Parents are invited to attend. This is a celebration of our year as writers and a wonderful way to teach and learn until the last bell rings.
This week we are finishing up our I Am From poems and next week we'll start to practice reciting them in front of an audience. We'll have a craft project and then on the last day of school, we'll turn the classroom into a very hip cafe, low lights, jazz music. Get the idea?
We'll start at 2:00 and stay until the last poem is shared.
This is fun, be there or be square.
