April is National Poetry Month

When I plan for Digital Playground sessions, it is helpful to reach out to the iTeachers at my schools to find out what the teachers might be interested in learning and to get some information about the content they will be teaching in the days or weeks ahead. Making the stations relevant and timed to fit instructional goals has been very beneficial for the teachers at my schools. During these sessions, I often hear them comment, "I can use this with my kids this week!" For this month, the iTeachers requested ideas to use with students as they celebrate National Poetry Month.

I planned to use the stations shared above with the entire faculty during an after school session, but our meeting was cancelled due to severe weather. Instead, I set up shop in the Reading Coach's office for teachers to visit during their planning period. As always, my goal was to create a fun and engaging atmosphere for the teachers to experience a student perspective!
