Recently, the 5th
graders read a book titled So
B It. But some had very
mixed opinions on it. We

surprising….

Math Poem
By: Riley Stewart
Stress
Word problem here…
Word problem there....
It haunts me that math is everywhere
Test today, midterm tomorrow
Why do I have so much sorrow
I just wanna sleep
I just wanna eat
But I can’t when math is on repeat
The wrath of math makes me scared
When I am in math I’m in despair.
Stress is everywhere…
