In April: All Things Poetry
Celebrating National Poetry Month with Mrs. Kelly
Poetry at Home for all AGES
April is National Poetry Month, an initiative that allows us to explore language in new and beautiful forms. This newsletter shares some ways that you can explore poetry at home with your children.
Happy Spring!
Mrs. Kelly - HGJH LMS
Reading Poetry
Poetry is particularly fun to read to children. The whimsical use of language fires up kids' imaginations. Also, if you're tired, it can be a little easier to read three poems than three chapters of a book :)
Here are some links to child-friendly poetry to read aloud at home:

It's also fun to write poetry with your children. See the link below for all kinds of ideas!
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO EXPRESS YOURSELF!! HGJH students - are you up for the challenge?
Check out my friend, Ezekiel Garcia's poetry slam submission from 2019. Some of you may remember him from FCA Fields of Faith or FCA summer camp.
***Although his message is powerful and positive, this content is NOT geared towards elementary age children.***
