Hatherly Happenings

Thank you to our PTO!

On Monday, our amazing PTO provided every student and staff with a pair of eclipse safety viewing glasses and a fun backdrop to take photos! We had so much fun learning about the eclipse throughout the day and viewing this natural phenomenon.

Poetry Lesson with Mr. Adams

Last Thursday, the fourth graders invited Mr. adams to be a guest poet and guide a lesson on poetry to shake them out of their MCAS and rain-induced stupors! Mr. adams discussed what makes a poem a poem and what a poem can mean to both the reader and to the writer. He talked about how poetry is a way to creatively and uniquely express yourself while examining the world around you using your five senses. After reading a poem to the students, he invited them all to write their own poem in response and challenged them to think beyond this experience to connect their emotions with vivid images and moments from their lives using similes and metaphors. The students rose to the occasion and were engaged and thoughtful throughout the lesson. We appreciate Mr. adams sharing his time, his passion, and his positivity with all of us! Below we have an original poem about the eclipse by Cora Prentiss!
