Here's another poem by a 6th grade Ripley student named Summer. Neither she nor Jacob knew that the other was writing about "blank space." I guess when you think of numbers, infinity, meaning, and god are just around the corner. I asked the class to make a list of words they'd studied in their math class earlier that morning and develop a poem using at least three of those words. Summer wrote:
RECIPROCAL OF YOU
If you simplify a blank space
then sum it up
break it down and
subtract it
from you, What would
you get?
Would you get
the reciprocal of who you
are?
Summer, 6th grade
Ripley, NY
