April is National Poetry Month. It is about sharing and celebrating the wonder of poetry and how its expresses feelings and ideas with intensity. Students in Mrs. Fluger’s class shared the beauty of poetry by putting it in a public place. Students picked a favorite line from a poem, picked a clean piece of sidewalk, grabbed chalk, and wrote the line. Some attracted extra attention to their work by adding drawings for extra fun. Passersby paused to read the lines. You too can share poetry by putting a little poetry into someone's path. Upload a picture to this post if you do!
