Poem in Your Pocket Day is celebrated each April during National Poetry Month. Today, students in all grade levels enjoyed a Poetry Slam in the cafeteria during lunch. Students read some of their favorite poets and some shared original poetry they had written. Each student who read during lunch received a small book-themed token of appreciation for their LIFESKILL of Courage and for Synergizing with their schoolmates!
Tyler Skiff (pictured below), stopped by Ms. Tucker's office to share his poem:
I love having fun in the summer,
But not being at Round Top will be kind of a bummer.
Mrs. Powell (mother of Jack, Kelvey and Sidney), shared this original poem:
Good morning, Powell kids
Wipe that sleep from your eyes!
Today is going to be great
Full of adventure and surprise!
Jack's got a field trip
And mom gets to go too.
To watch excited first graders
Learn what nurses and doctors do.
Sidney, get ready
For math and reading fun.
Ms. Paige will make sure
That you learn a ton!
And Kelvey, it's Friday
The last day of the week.
Tomorrow we'll all be ready
For some sunshine and sleep!
Aviator Ball is tonight
You'll dress up, dance, and twirl.
Daddy will be proud
To escort you two beautiful girls!
So, my little ones
Make the most of this day.
Learn lots, make memories,
And enjoy time to play.
It's another poem in your pocket
Another year almost through,
A year of great teachers, special times,
And friendships, old and new.
So get up and get moving
Let's get on our way.
There's lots of excitement
At Round Top today!
Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day 2015
Love, Mom
