Students in the Write

A Community Poetry Slam!

Mrs. Bakala’s class has been learning about different communities in Social Studies. The distinct attributes of rural, suburban, and urban communities provide contrasting experiences for our senses and Mrs. Bakala’s students have used these differences to inspire poetry. In a collaborative effort, our students have merged their prose to illustrate these contrasts. Each recorded poem showcases several students. Together they offer a feast for the senses; listen and enjoy them below!

Skyscrapers, Houses, and Fields

A Rural Mash-Up: Hay, Grass, and Cows

Barns, Neighborhoods, and Subways

Swaying Trees, Pizza Smells, and Busy Busses

Baking Corn, Dogs in the Yard, and Towering Apartments

A Suburban Mash-up: Music in a House, Playing Outside, and Swings at the Park
