Poetry Week
Shel Silverstein's Poetry
From a rhyming throwdown competition between librarian and students to sharing poems from Shel Silverstein's books, "Falling Up" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends", we are having a fabulous time celebrating Poetry Month this week in the library.
During story time, students enthusiastically volunteer to recite a poem from memory or choose one to read from the projected view of the books from our new document camera! I share my favorite Silverstein poems as well and conclude story time with his peacemaking poem called "Hug-O-War".
Inspirational moment: Early in the week a 6th grader rose above her shyness to share her favorite Silverstein poem from memory during her class's story time!
A big thank you goes out to Shel Silverstein for lifting our hearts with his poetry.
