April is National Poetry Month. (It’s also Workplace Conflict Awareness Month — but that’s a different blog.) Some of you might be interested in the Academy of American Poets’ Poem-a-Day e-mails. The first two selections have been quite good. Others of you might be interested in other poetry resources from the group.
Me, I’m interested in a month of good poems. Hope you are, too. #

Have you read _Love That Dog_ by Sharon Creech? I found it very effective when we were starting the poetry unit in grade 7.

Bud, Thanks. Didn’t realize that. Now I’ll have to find poems to share with my grade 1/2′s. They love these kind of months! So do I.

Such a good idea, poetry instead of conflict. it keeps the soul from fading away in our daily life. if only we could get Bush, Chavez, and Ahmadinejad to sit down and write haikus together…
