We had an incredible time at our poetry celebration today. Our classroom was transformed into a coffeehouse (a big thanks goes out to Mrs. Baumgardner and Mrs. Dowdy), and we had a wonderful gathering of parents, grandparents, friends, and school staff. Candles, lamps, jazz, and the warm aroma of coffee filled our classroom. Each student selected three of his or her best poems to share. As the students shared, the poems were projected onto our Promethean board. This enabled the audience to understand the line breaks, see the illustrations, and gather the full meaning of the poet's message. We laughed, cried, and thought a little more about life. I was truly amazed at the depth of our students' perspectives and their willingness to share from their heart. Everyone in the audience was moved. Below are some photographs from this special day.

Thank you so much for including all of us in the poetry reading. It was so touching to hear all of your poems filled with such a wide range of emotions. I'm so glad that I got to experience Brownbucks Cafe. -Kathleen Moore
I'm glad you were able to attend. Our kids are wonderful poets, and I'm so proud of all their accomplishments.
