It's coming. The calendar says spring is here, even if the weather isn't always spring-like. Luckily, the signs of spring bloom in April: brighter colors, new growth and busy insects are all evidence of spring. And so is poetry! April is National Poetry Month! It was created in 1996, and has now become the largest literary celebration in the world. There are many ways to participate in this expressive event, in fact the Academy of American Poets offers 30 Ways to Celebrate, like memorizing a poem or writing one of your own. Click the link to explore more options!
​

In the spirit of National Poetry Month, challenge your student to write a poem about the sights, smells and sounds of the changing season! Spring brings new possibilities to be experienced by all the senses. Like the smell of the air after it rains, the sound of birds singing or the sight of leaves budding on the trees. There certainly is a lot to take in this time of year. ​
