Hello, hello! The first day of residency at Bronzeville Classical Elementary went swimmingly. Ms. Siudock’s 4th grade classes and Ms. Shuch’s 3rd grade classes were so excited to start writing poems! We started the day talking about what we already know about poetry (which was a lot!) and drafting community agreements. Then, we started talking about wishes. There’s so much to wish for in our world, whether we wish on behalf of ourselves, our loved ones, or for the world we want to see. And what I’ve concluded is that these students have a generous spirit, as so many of their wish poems contained wishes for others. Take a look below.
