The 6th graders in Mrs. Manocchio and Ms. Levine's classes visited the 4th grade Language Arts classes to share some of the poetry they have been writing in class this month. The older students explained their writing process to the younger students, teaching them about various types of poetry including haiku, acrostic, and bio-poetry.
