During our fifth and final week together, 6th graders at Dulles spent time revising their poems, then celebrated with a reading joined by the students of 302 and 303. To revise, students looked over all the poems they had written so far. They picked out favorite lines, combined poems, edited, and wrote new lines until they had at least one final finished poem. Hearing students share their work to a room full of people despite feeling nervous was a beautiful end to our time together.

The light shines so bright
it blinds my eyes when I play
the game I’m in my zone
when I play ball I feel life
all I got to say is keep going
and never give up.
About Me & the Love for My Mother
by Maaliyah T.
I’m a little girl
who loves to eat & I despise heat
I have so much love
for my momma mainly
I love her so much
to the point where when she is out of my sight
it isn’t a delight
I love my phone because it lets me reach my best friend
it allows me to reach my mother also
When I walk up 7 flights of stairs
my legs are sore
Rubbing toothpaste on the mirror
when I was younger, it was like
a kid who just got tons of candy
