MYP Gr6 Poetry in the Garden!

The other day I was reminded once again of what a blessing our verdant campus is with its many outdoor learning spaces for students. Ms. Conte's Gr6 language & literature students are exploring a wide range of poetic forms, so to go a little deeper into some of these types of poems students tried their hand at writing concrete poetry, sonnets, limericks, haiku and other forms and also spent time reading poems for two voices with a partner. Many of our outdoor picnic tables were set up as activity centers where students could experiment with a certain poetic form. Students chose favorite shady garden patches where they could read poetry aloud with a partner.  What a lovely environment for learning! (photos by T. Maguire)
