April is National Poetry Month. The 6th graders in Mrs. Manocchio and Ms. Levine's classes visited the 4th grade Language Arts classes to share some of the poetry they have been writing in class this month. The older students explained their writing process to the younger students, teaching them about various types of poetry including haiku, acrostic, and bio-poetry. The 4th graders were able to ask questions of the 6th graders, as well as share some of their own knowledge of poetry. A fun and informative time was had by all!
