April is National Poetry Month in Canada... did you know that?
I did not.... but while I was raving about the cool poetry project I was thinking of doing with the kids I was schooled by our local librarian!
As you have probably figured out by now, I am not a language arts type of person...
sure we read and write but beyond that, I'm kinda hopeless!!
Luckily there are great free resources out there... I rediscovered this website the other day.. a free site with tips and poetry lessons for kids?!?! Fantastic!
There was a great post about creating book spine poetry.... right up our alley!
So we gathered a ridiculous number of books from our unnatural book collection and went to work...
The kidlets had a blast and came up with some neat poems... what a great perspective!!
We loved this... I highly suggest you try it out!!
The only downside was the massive clean up of books when we were done...lol ;)
