Poetry Out Loud 2019

The day started out dark and rainy, so this year's event was moved indoors to the CMS auditorium.  Fortunately the dreariness outside had no affect on the sunny dispositions of the excited students waiting to perform!

Backstage and ready to go!

Backstage the students were buzzing with enthusiasm as they waited for the 6th annual Poetry Out Loud event to begin.  Coordinated by Hope Valley principal Mr. Gencarelli, this wonderful evening celebrates these young poets and gives them an opportunity to share their work aloud with an appreciative audience.  Some pieces made us laugh out loud while others moved us with their sincerity.  All of them were original and we were impressed by the students' creativity!  Thank you, Mr. G, for another successful and heart-warming evening!

How Teachers Are the Best

By Ruby, Grade 2

Teachers put time.  Teachers put effort.

Teachers teach us.

Good things, boring things, all things cool.

Teachers - kind, wonderful people.

I’m thankful for my teachers.

 

Softball

By Harper, Grade 2

Playing softball is so much fun!

You get to throw.

You get to run.

You get to slide.

You can run, but you can’t hide!

I can’t wait ‘til I can play.

Especially in the month of May.

The weather then seems just right.

The sun gives off the perfect light.

All the parents stand and scream.

Everyone cheers for their own team.

Softball is my favorite game,

So look for me in the Hall of Fame!

 Fourth Grade is Near

By Lily and Keelyn, Grade 3

Fourth grade is near, did you hear?

3rd grade is starting to disappear

It was fun, but now it is done

Mrs. Moffitt and Mrs. Bliven have  brought so much fun.

Concentration, multiplication, reading, math, and science rotations

Science, technology, engineering and math

These things help us move along our learning path.

Next year we will be the oldest of our pack

Our younger friends will follow our tracks.

Big or small we will help them all

As we set good examples walking in the hall.

Fourth grade is near, did you hear?

3rd grade is starting to disappear

As the end grows close we will miss our teachers and friends the most.

We look forward to 4th grade and all that we´ll do

Good-bye grade 3...we will miss you!

  

Well done, Ashaway School poets! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
