Grade 2 studies and visits the Brooklyn Bridge. In her poem, Caroline M. ’33 describes the bridge: “The bottoms of the towers like legs waiting, standing, letting all those big boats pass. The roadway like arms forever stretching to let all the cars and people pass….”
Caroline is an excellent student. She works hard in school and she’s really creative in her writing, drawing, and even math solutions. She excels in poetry and is really excited about it. She exclaimed that she didn’t know writing poems could be this fun! She tries poetry crafting techniques such as personification, alliteration, seeing things in a new way, rhythm, and line breaks. Sometimes she recognizes these techniques herself from reading poems and other times they’re explicitly taught. She also LOVES it and writes poems quickly and joyfully. She wrote another poem about a pencil twirling and dancing on the page.
