A Trip to the Poetry Cafe

This morning the kids and I took a stroll (down the hall) to the Poetry Cafe.



How much fun it was!

We laughed.
We snapped.
They munched on popcorn.



Everyone was able to share at least one poem.
They especially enjoyed reading poems together.
Even their teacher indulged...


In My Fifth Grade Classroom

Elbows bumping.
Chairs scooting.
Mouths moving.
Pencils writing.
Pages turning.
Desks closing.
Clock ticking.
Minds opening.
Children learning.
