Poetry Night

Mrs. Han put together our school's 1st Poetry Night and encouraged the different grade levels to participate. It was a very nice blend of different types of poems read by teachers, staff, parents and students from our school. There were also several types displayed around the multi-purpose room. Mrs. Skinner and Mrs. Williams read a poem about Honey Bees.

Maddyn and Zoe wrote a poem about Color Poems.

Taylor and Cassidy read the poem they wrote in class titled Because:

You might not believe it, but her's how it happened.

One school morning at Tony Tobin, we got an idea that

Mrs. Atkinson could be a 5th grade teacher.

Because we got that idea we told Mr. McTasney.

Because we told Mr. McTasney we had to tell Mrs. Atkinson.

Because we told Mrs. Atkinson she flipped out.

Because she flipped out we thought it would never happen.

Because we thought it would never happen we were so gloomy.

Because we were so gloomy we begged and begged and begged.

Because we begged she fell for it.

Because she fell for it we were ecstatic.

Because we were so ecstatic Mrs. Atkinson got this genius idea that

she could teach a 4/5 combo.

Because she got that genius idea she told us.

And that's how it happened,

Believe me it's true,

Because of an idea that finally came true.

Mrs. Atkinson read Sick by Shel Silverstein

The final performance was Mr. McTasney and Rachel Skinner singing "I'm still in the bathtub" to the tune of "Take me out to the ballgame". It was very cute and he really showed his school spirit. There was so much creativity displayed tonight and I hope it becomes an annual tradition.
