This week, poets at Poe Middle School in Ms. Agboola’s class viewed Norman Rockwell’s painting Moving In and we explored what we thought happened in the next scene. Here’s what they wrote.

Moving
Briella C.
7th g.
It’s a sunny day and
people are moving in.
There’s truck, houses, chairs.
The people who are moving in
are Jackie and Sara with
their cat snowball. The other
people are Tommy, Billy, Emily, and
their cat Fluffy.
They don’t are getting ready to play
baseball. But Tommy didn’t really
like the bat but he still went.
Life
Quali B.
7th g.
Stars, the moon
the sky is so beautiful
It’s like a dream
children running around, playing
having a good time
from the court to playing in the park
kids and adults coming together as one
rejoicing and thanking for another chance at life
chilling out and having fun.
