Welcome!
Your students have written personal
“I Am” poems that give clues to their
identity. As a way of finding your
student’s seat, you will need to read
each poem until you find the one that
belongs to your student! Hint… the
names of the authors are on the back
side of the poem
Welcome to Back to School Night!
