For our very first week together, the 3rd graders and I had a lot to accomplish. We discussed the residency (art class with words), what I expect from them (lots of imagination, playfulness, as well exploration and experimentation). They had lots of good questions for me: (e.g.: What if we’ve never written a poem?). And after all that, we discussed the difference between the poetic line and a story line, and then… we wrote poems! Enjoy!
