Laine's poetry reading

The same day that Mead had her kindergarten graduation Laine had her 2nd grade poetry reading.

She did a great job.  She partnered up with a classmate to read a duet poem, where they went back and forth with their lines.

She said a poem from memory - "Rapunzel's Locks" by M. Singer

Then Laine read aloud several poems she had written - including one about the men putting on a new roof at our house!  ("They sounded like a herd of elephants...")  Very cute!

Finally the class recited a poem together, front row and back row taking turns.

And Laine's teacher made an acrostic poem from each student's name.  It was a special afternoon, and all the kids worked really hard.  Laine is going to miss second grade, that's for sure!
