First graders at Brenneman had an exciting first poetry lesson! We read the poem “Fried Chicken,” by Kwame Alexander, who writes that his grandmother’s fried chicken is so good it tastes like pieces of heaven! Students talked about foods they like to cook and eat with special people in their lives. We hope you enjoy these delicious offerings…
[Note: Each poem is a collaboration between students and teachers, created by collecting a few words from every student in the class.]
