ERES Distance Learning Resources
E. Rivers Elementary, April 13-20, 2020
April is Poetry Month!!
Every year we memorize poems in the media center for a Poetry Show. Please encourage your children/students to write a poem and share it with me on Google Docs at pboston. Students can write their own poems or find a poem on kid friendly sites. Here are a few sites to get started:
- https://poets.org/poems-kids
- http://www.readwritethink.org/
- http://www.shelsilverstein.com/
- http://jackprelutsky.com/jacks-poems/
If you find a poem you want to memorize or you write an original, please share it with me. Go to Google Docs, type your poem, click the blue share button in the upper right hand corner, then type my email: pboston@apsk12.org.
