National Poetry Month

Well April is National Poetry Month, so what are you doing in your libraries to celebrate poetry? National Poetry Month is recognized and celebrated to bring awareness and appreciation to poetry across the United States. Here is a great link on 30 ways to celebrate National Poetry Month I began creating a "Selfie Poem" with my 3rd through 6th grade classes and they are really enjoying the process. I have included the template for the poem if you'd like to give it a try with your students. Anything that brings awareness to poetry and literacy is a great thing! Have fun!
