✨ This week, Mrs. Fitz’s 6th-grade English classes put their poetry skills to the test with an exciting Poetry Escape Room! ✨
Students worked together, solving riddles, deciphering figurative language, and unlocking clues—all while diving deeper into the beauty of poetry. From metaphors to meter, every challenge brought them one step closer to escaping!
Way to go, 6th graders! Your creativity and teamwork were truly impressive. Keep up the great work!
