Poetry exhibition

Fourth graders excitedly and carefully arranged their poetry displays before we headed to worship, unsure if anyone would visit our exhibition. We were so surprised when we arrived back in our room, and the third grade, several parents, Mrs. Spurgin, and a grand parent were enjoying our displays.

Students researched a poet of their choosing, learning about his/her life, and their poetry style. They wrote a report on their poet, and composed a poem in that poet's style. Dameire was inspired by Shel Silverstein when he wrote this poem:

I was walking down the street

And I tripped on a shoelace

And fell back

I fell back and

I flew past the store

Flew past the school

Back past the house

And I was dizzy

But I was lucky

My mom gave me a fizzy

She said how did I fall back

I told her I was running track.

I told a lie

Indeed I did

I told a lie,

Kind of a fib.

Hope I don’t die

When she finds out.
