Mississippi Poetry Project

(5/3) These 3rd grade gifted students (Davis Payne, Kalynn Johnson, and Daniella Williams) each wrote a poem for the Mississippi Poetry Project. Out of many entries, their poems were selected as school-wide winners. Their poem was printed in the Mississippi Poetry Project: Who I Am anthology, and each student received their very own copy to keep!
The goal of the Mississippi Poetry Project is to help students experience the joy and accomplishment that can come from writing poetry, and from sharing their own voices, words, and experiences. Poetry is for everyone, and there’s no wrong way to write a poem. Words can be a tremendous source of delight, play, and comfort, and these students were very excited to be published poets!
