This year for the culminating event for Poetry Month we celebrated Poem in Your Pocket Day. Students carried poems of all kinds with them as they went through their school day and shared them with special readers who were “all ears”. Each poem read earned them a ticket for a drawing for poetic prizes like journals, books, and art supplies. After a month of poetry reading and writing our Poetry Patrol were delighted to hear all kinds of poems. 
We’ve visited many poets and forms of poetry all month in anticipation of Poem in your Pocket Day at school! We’ve created, read, performed, and we are ready! Click here to see our poem prep commercial. We can’t wait.
We held a special Camp Read event this month to celebrate reading and to give students time to relax in the great outdoors…in the library. We read a few books and listened to some great camping background noise as we settled down around the fire, under the tree, or in the tent. Books that were most popular included Maisy Goes Camping and Danny and the Dinosaur Go to Camp. Making some cupcakes in a campfire style seems like the next thing we should all do!
Just add some red hots, pretzels, and candy corn to build a little campfire you can eat!
