Poem in My Pocket Day
For Poem in Your Pocket Day (April 18), my library assistants posted pockets outside of each teacher's classroom. I sent an email encouraging them to participate by placing a poem in the pocket as well as carrying a poem with them and sharing with students.
I was thrilled to see pockets stuffed with poems as I walked by classroom!
I enjoyed sharing my poems with other students throughout the day and having them share their poems with me.
The next day, we were out of school because of flooding. My son and I had an extra special treat when we skyped with a 5th grade class in Matthew Winner's library. My son shared the origami folding he had been working on as well as a poem. I helped him write the poem after Mr. Winner invited us that day to skype with him. We both loved seeing the smiling faces of the students and hearing them read their poem about whirly beetles.
Coen's poem:
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Folding and drawing are my favorite things to do!
Loved the collaboration with your teachers. Coen's adoreable!
