National Poetry Month or Poem In Your Pocket Day

It’s time for Language Arts and I didn’t think about Poetry fitting into Language Arts although it does. I plan on working with Charlie on Poetry because I’m not sure if he learned Poetry in school. If Charlie did learn Poetry, I am not sure what Charlie remembers. To begin our studies, I would like to remind you it’s National Poetry Month in April and Poem In Your Pocket Day.

Poem in Your Pocket Day 2018 is on April 26 and  part of National Poetry Month. On this day, select a poem, carry it with you, and share it with others at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, street corners, and on social media using the hashtag #pocketpoem.

Age Range: 10 and up (Grades 4 and up approximately; children with parental supervision)
