Publishing Poems


We have been working on publishing poems.   This involves writing, rewriting and changing things, editing, typing, and selecting visuals to go with the poem.  Many of these poems are on display in the hall outside our classroom.  I will try to post more of these poems soon.  This poem was written by me but rewritten with the help of the class.

Ivana Seedatown Visits!

Perhaps you remember that my old friend from college had decided to visit?  And that she loves history?  Well, we all wrote letters to her, telling her about the history of Brattleboro and also about many of the resources available in town today.  This afternoon, she surprised us with a visit!  It was so exciting to share our knowledge with her about the town.

Pumpkin Contest

Our pumpkin display was inspired by a poem called "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams.
