Poetry Slam.......Students explore and present wide variety of poetry

Third graders at COES elementary school rock! Their poetry slam on Thursday evening was amazing.  After studying poetry in music and the regular classroom, they performed a wide range of poetry for parents and teachers.  Each class set up their own “Poetry Café” .  Poetry recited included everything from their own poetry, limericks and funny rhymes to the classics and even included a selection from Hamlet.   Each grade had their own MC who kept the show moving with some adlibs and a lot of laughter and fun.  Parents and students enjoyed the performances and the cozy atmosphere with plenty of hot chocolate.  A Spanish song sung by all participants rounded off the evening in each poetry café proving there are no limits to this group of international learners.
