Hello everyone,
Throughout the year we have been reading a variety of poetry from authors such as Eugene Fields, E.E. Cummings, Shel Silverstein, Basho Matsuo, Kobayashi Isa and many more! We have spent lots of time studying the words of these authors and what they mean to us. The month of April is national poetry month where there is a special emphasis put on this wonderful form of written word. Students have been enjoying listening to extra poems this month and later in the month we will be writing our own. Today I am sending home the three most requested Shel Silverstein poems and in the coming weeks you will be receiving more. Please take the time to read these with your child, many students have memorized stanzas so reading them together would be great.
