Poetry Coffeehouse

Matthew's class has been doing a poetry unit.

To showcase their work, we were all invited to their coffee-house reading.

The kids dressed up and read their poems

to the beat of some jazzy music.

Matt was really funny--We got to his class and everyone was 

wearing black and had their berets on.

He hadn't told me that they were supposed to 

dress in dark colors--he remembered and did it on his own!

He was so excited that the whole family came to hear his poetry...

Matt's two favorite poems that he read.

I detect a little Shel Silverstein in them...
