The Poetry Slam!, the culminating event of the SCORES Fall Season curriculum - The Power of Poetry, will feature more than 160 elementary school students from Seattle’s underserved neighborhoods performing their own original works of poetry. For many of our children, reciting their original poetry on a public stage is the first time in their lives they have been publicly celebrated for their accomplishments. The event will showcase poets from Bailey Gatzert, Dunlap, Highland Park, Maple and Roxhill Elementary Schools.
Animals
by: Vi T. of Maple Elementary
Animals are awesome
Birds can fly in the sky
Cats can be big or small
Deer are cute and quiet
Every animal is cool walking in the grass
Falcons can be scary making sounds in the sky
Get everyone happy because animals are cute
