Poetry Theme Day
On Monday, May 7th, we celebrated all things poetry with our annual theme day. As a school we celebrated Poetry Theme Day with decorations throughout the school, many poetry related centers, a poetry assembly, and even a special snack!
In the days leading up to Poetry Theme Day, our class practiced reading poems in class and even ones we brought from home. We practiced visualizing these poems in our brains, because that is something all good readers do!
On Poetry Theme Day, the morning class got to try writing their very own acrostic poems with students from the high school and the afternoon students got to go to a poetry museum where they practiced writing describing words for the items they saw!
Both classes had the opportunity to see an amazing show called "Haiku, Hip Hop, and Hot Dogs," by the Crabtree Theater Group. We learned all about different kinds of poems and how fun poetry can be!
We even got to participate in a poetry reading at a pretend coffee house like the "hep cats" we are! We got lots of snaps and claps when we finished.
We love poetry!
