Happy Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month! Huzzah! Though I like to think of this as more a reminder; a cause for celebration, and a gentle finger on our chins pulling our faces back to some poems. You can find some poems here in the Library Corner, as I will be posting a new one each week. And while there are myriad ways to bring poetry into the forefront this month, like so much in our learning lives, poetry is something to experience all the time, not just in April.

Poetry books will be featured in the library this month, and I encourage all families to take some time to read poems with your children as they bring some of these books home. If you or your children find a poem you love, carry a copy of it with you on April 29th for Poem In Your Pocket Day, and share it with others. Better yet, try to commit it to memory so that you can carry it with you always. And if you would ever like poetry reading suggestions, I am happy to share.
