Coffee House Poetry Reading

This is our first year of home-schooling.  We are learning as we go:  I am learning how to home-school, hopefully the boys are actually learning the stuff they are supposed to know for their grades!  Ha!  Here is a Language Arts project that Seth did:

This year he studied about poetry.  His final project for the unit was to have a Coffee House Poetry Reading Event.  He asked Aunt Bo to make chocolate cake.  He made invitations, signs, programs...the works!

Here is his poetry display.

He arranged the living-room to seat all the people he invited and recruited Aaron and Joel to help with the program. 

All of the poetry that Seth read were his original works.  Here is one of his poems:

"Alien Baseball"

Now Mike was going home from school

And found a UFO.

So he called them over to play some ball

When he saw his friend Moe.

And Moe brought Joe and Mary Lou

To play some ball with him,

Then who came over across the street?

I'll be, it's Nate and Jim!

And he brought Tim and so it seemed,

It really, really seemed,

That 4 on 4 would be the best,

Fairest baseball team.

They played for hours on the field:

Nine innings before they ate.

And back home, Mom and Dad wondered,

"Why's school going so late?"
