Maija's class had been working hard past several weeks,
learning about and writing their own poetry.
Last Wednesday night they got to read and present their poetry.
Her teacher had turned the pod into a Poetry Cafe.
The students wore blue jeans and black shirts to honor the true beatnik culture of the 1950s and early 1960s that was often associated with poetry reading at coffee shops.
Kids read their original poems.
They also had "open mic" where the parents and siblings could read aloud their own poems or poems from a book of their choice.
It was a very fun night!
Of course a Cafe needs treats!

...and on the stage!
