Our class has been working through our poetry unit in literacy during April which was National Poetry month. Mrs. Brown, with the help of the PTA, had local poet, Mr. Bill Buczinsky, (AKA Mr. "B") spend the day at OMS. Mrs. Beck put our class name in a hat and we were one of the lucky classrooms that had Mr. B for a special class presentation.
Your children impressed Mr. B, as he was planning on teaching the students how to write a poem and right off the bat, 4-3 students shared poetry they had already written. He listened to all of the students who wanted to share poems they had written and/or poems that they were adding to their poetry collections. Mr. B was very engaging and very passionate about his craft. The students were not only entertained, but some who had been not so enthusiastic about poetry were completely won over! Please enjoy the slideshow and video below.
A great big thank you to the PTA for sponsoring such a wonderful program for our students and enriching our curriculum!!
