Happy Spring Stonehedge!

April is National Poetry month and at Stonehedge the means three things: fun with poems in the library, Poem in Your Pocket Day and Poetrypalooza. Poem in Your Pocket Day falls during the break this year, so Stonehedge will celebrate it on Thursday, April 25^th. All students and staff are encouraged to carry a poem in their pocket and share it with as many people as possible during the day.

Later on the 25^th, the Gold cafeteria will be transformed into a funky poetry café with a stage, sound system and real, live audience as we bring back Poetrypalooza after a one-year absence. We’ll start reading poems at 6:30 and go until everyone who wants to, has a chance to share. Staff, students,

and family members are welcome to participate. If you do not want to read, you can be part of the audience, but I’ll have poem books on hand if you change your mind and decide to “dare to share”!

I’m sure to have lots of pictures to share for the next blog. Until then, take a look at what we’ve been doing in library…

Third graders had a chance to get to know a poem and share it with the class.

The following week, they got to use the titles of some of our picture books to create “Book Spine Poetry”. It was so fun and we got some really awesome results!

Have a great Spring Break and don't forget to...
