GETTING TO KNOW YOU
GILBERT STUART ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

We are a fourth grade bi-lingual class in an inner city school in
Providence, Rhode Island. Poetry helps to learn the beauty of English words
and to help us to express ourselves while learning what for many of us here
is a new language.
