5th Graders Conquer Stage Fright at Their Poetry Slam!
Ms. Tollette’s 5th graders turned their classroom into a stage for their very own Poetry Slam! Before writing their own poems, students read and discussed two poems, “Stage Fright” and “Foul Shot.” Through these poems, they explored how words can capture emotions, tell a story, and connect with others.
With those lessons in mind, students then set out to create their own original poems, drawing from their personal experiences, imagination, and creativity. The next big step? Overcoming a little stage fright of their own! One by one, they stood in front of their classmates to share their work aloud, showing courage, confidence, and pride in their writing.
What started as a lesson in poetry turned into a celebration of self-expression and bravery.
We’re so proud of these talented young writers for stepping up to the mic and showing that every voice deserves to be heard! 💙🐾💛
