Grades 2-4: Poetry Polooza

In celebration of National Poetry Month, my classroom of 3rd graders has been examining various types of poetry, reading poetry by various authors, and writing their own original free verse poetry. In celebration of National Poetry Month, Thursday, April 29th is Poem in Your Pocket Day. The idea is just that - people from all around the country are encouraged to select a poem that they love and then to carry it with them throughout the day to share with others. I am looking for a class in which to share some of our favorite poems with on April 29th, preferably, the afternoon from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. We would also love to hear some of your favorite poems, be it from published authors or the authors in your classroom!
