On Tuesday, Dec. 18, the community was invited to attend the Woonsocket Elementary Poetry Slam. Students, Kindergarten through sixth grade, took turns reciting a previously selected poem that they had practiced both in school and at home. Poem themes ranged from thought provoking to silly and fun with contexts about puppies, dinosaurs, wormy apples and dealing with siblings.

During the previous week, on Thursday, Dec. 13 and Friday, Dec. 14, volunteer judges came into the classrooms to hear the students recite their poems. The judges scored each student based on a rubric that included poem delivery speed, voice volume, eye contact and poem-appropriate gestures. Students who placed first, second and third in each grade level were announced at the end of the Poetry Slam on Tuesday and received a prize.
