My Project

Our goals for this project are to get our students comfortable with writing all kinds of poems and sharing their work with others.

Many of our students feel that their writing is not worth sharing out loud, but with the resources of this project, they will find their voice and confidence to share their words.

Poetry is a form of expression that allows students many opportunities to express their emotions through writing. Beginning the year with poetry readings and exercises is one way for students to get to know each other. This is one way we will build community in our classroom.
