📚✨ Poetry Comes to Life in the Library! ✨📚 This week, Mrs. Codding’s ELA 10 classes spent meaningful time in the school library analyzing poetry and crafting vivid, sensory-rich poems of their own. 📝 As part of a powerful fishbowl activity, students explored various aspects of the Pulitzer Prize-winning poem "In the Library" by Charles Simic. Inspired by his work, scholars wrote their own original poems centered around the theme of the library. 📖💭 Both Period 2 and Period 3 had standout poets whose creative work will be proudly displayed in the hallway case near the library — the perfect place to showcase their voices. 🏅 Period 2 ELA 10 Winners: • Winning Poet: Destiney Conard • 1st Runner-Up: Brayden Brown • 2nd Runner-Up: Julia Gillis 🏅 Period 3 ELA 10 Winners: • Winning Poet: Tyler Meier • 1st Runner-Up: Corina Denier • 2nd Runner-Up: Hailey Poultney 📸 Swipe to see Brayden & Julia in one photo, and Tyler & Hailey in another! (Note: Corina Denier and Destiney Conard preferred not to be photographed.) Incredible job to all our young writers — your words truly brought the library to life! 💙 #PoetryInMotion #ELAWins #GloversvilleScholars #StudentVoices #LibraryInspiration

📚✨ What’s That on the Sidewalk?! ✨📚 It’s Mrs. Codding's Annual Sidewalk Poetry Day — and it was nothing short of incredible! 🗓 When: Wednesday, 4/23/25 👥 Who: Our ELA 9 and ELA 10 scholars ✍️ What: A celebration of poetic voices, creativity, and self-expression Grade 9 scholars crafted Diamante Poetry — beautiful diamond-shaped poems that don’t rhyme but shine with powerful imagery and contrasting subjects. Grade 10 scholars created Where I’m From Poetry — deeply personal pieces rooted in memory, setting, and everyday details that shape identity. 📝 The process? Discussion ➡️ Drafting ➡️ Revising ➡️ Editing ➡️ Peer Feedback ➡️ Final Approval ➡️ Sidewalk Showcase! They used tools like thesaurus.com to elevate their language and collaborated thoughtfully with peers to refine their pieces. 🌟 Sidewalk Poetry Day continues to be a GHS tradition that brings words to life — literally. Seeing our scholars’ creativity on full display is a reminder of the talent, effort, and heart that lives within our classrooms. Huge shoutout to Mrs. Codding for leading this inspiring experience and to all of our scholars who showed up with their best: determination, respect, creativity, and thoughtfulness. 💫 👏 Way to go, GHS!
