April means birds chirping, flowers blooming, and spring rain showers, right? Nope! April means National Poetry Month! It's time to gear up for a great month in the library. Here's the plan for the month.April 18th: Poem in Your Pocket Day (post to follow soon)
Magnetic Poetry Center Week 1
Poetry Picnic Week 2: Our lower grades will have a Poetry Picnic thanks to Cari @ The Centered School Library . We will be using her materials and inspiration to have our own Poetry Picnic all week long. Can't wait to post the pics! You can purchase Cari's Poetry Picnic at her TPT store.
Book Spine Poetry Center Week 3 : Students create a poem using the spines of several books. Then using a camera they will take a picture of their poem. Pictures will be complied into a video for all to see at the end of the week. Books at the center will change daily so we have a variety of poems to enjoy.
Each Monday in April, two poetry videos and their matching PDF poem will be emailed to teachers so they can share them with their students throughout the week.
Along with National Poetry Month, we also have several state testing days that require the closure of the Library, but I'm hoping to ease the stress of those tough days with some fun poetry. Below are the first two poetry videos along with the poem in PDF format.
Enjoy!
