It’s that time of year again…we still have a little April left and when it's April at
Stonehedge, we go into full poetry mode.
All of our K-3 classes have been sharing all kinds of great poems (the
older kids are doing research and study guides, but we’re still talking poetry)
and we’re all gearing up for our school wide celebration.
Thursday, April 27th is National Poem in Your Pocket
Day. On this day, students and staff are encouraged to keep a poem on hand. Then, they have to be ready to share if someone asks “Do you have a
poem in your pocket?” It’s a great way to meet new friends and share some great
poetry. You can write your own poem or share one of your favorites (just be
sure to give the original poet credit if you’re borrowing one.)
Later that same evening, we’ll be hosting Poetrypalooza III, our famous open mic poetry night. Starting at 6:30 until we run out of poems, we’ll turn the Gold cafeteria into a poetry cafĂ©. Students from any grade are welcome to get up on stage and read their poem in front of a real audience! (Staff and parents are welcome to read too!) If you don’t dare to share, just come and listen to our budding poets and enjoy some refreshments supplied by our absolutely awesome PTA.
We had a great turn out for the Stonehedge Science
Fair Research Night. Many budding
scientists and engineers came to get information about the Science Fair and to
get a head start on research about their chosen topics. It should be “a fair to remember" on May 10th at Open House.
The last quarter of the year has started and we're gearing up to finish strong!
