Under the guidance of our poet in residence, Michelle Rivers, PV’s 5th-grade students have been engaged in the ten-week exploration of writing and interpreting poetry.
The five fingers are were focused on every day… diet, exercise, newness, creativity and love!  Kids have written poems with the topics of, Wacky Whatifs, Forgiveness,  Lightness and Darkness, Our Planet and then a free for all!  The “brain” comes out to help us cultivate brilliance:)
Through the use of simile, metaphor, alliteration, and personification, the students have created many powerfully pieces of writing.

On Wednesday, December 20th,  students performed a wonderful poetry reading on in front of friends and family.  They each chose one of their favorites to share and did a fabulous job presenting their work. It was a very special celebration!
