Poetry Party in the Library, Part Two: Tuesday
Today, Sabina demonstrated ways to write poems. As the students arrived, soft music was playing. She turned the music off and asked them what the world would be like if there was no music or just gray crayons or only plain white bread. She used this in explaining why poetry is necessary in the world. We don’t really need it but it makes life more interesting.

Soon students were writing about their pet or one that they want, their friends and special people, places they love to be. It was a sea of poets and poetry writing.

Teachers helped students as well.
Fifth graders helped kindergarteners and first graders.
Look at these young poets. Seeds were planted today. On Thursday, some students will return to do some revising with Sabina.

sounds like a great time in your library this week - and a great opportunity for your students. Does the poet live near your school? Are you paying her by the day or does she have a set fee for the week. I love having authors and illustrators (I’ve never had a poet, but I am thinking that might be my next venture) but they are getting SO expensive, especially when you have to pay for accomodations and out of town expenses.
