On
November 15, 2024, Guest House Coffee & Pastries in Lincoln hosted
fifth graders from Washington-Monroe School for the fourth annual
Poetry Slam.
Students in Mrs. Snow’s and Mrs. Weaver’s classes presented original
works following a three-week poetry unit. During this time, students
read, analyzed, and wrote various styles of poetry in class each
day.
Near the end of the unit, students chose their favorite poem to
refine through the writing process. They revised, edited, and
published their works. They practiced reading their poems aloud in
preparation for presentation to parents and community members.
This event would not have been possible without the generosity of
Guest House and the creativity, hard work, and excitement of the
students!
