We will also be writing some color-ific poems of our own. I really love your website layout, especially the colors and soundcloud links. It makes it so easy to share your poetry with students in a classroom setting. We have talked about how hearing a poet read their own words is special. Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful, warm inspirations. lhestermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451373022470102129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-81562934478866638402017-04-04T14:24:00.980-04:002017-04-04T14:24:00.980-04:00We are so excited to participate in this poetry pr...We are so excited to participate in this poetry project!

While we have completed repeated readings of a poem each week since the start of school, this month we are allowing ourselves to fully dive into and get lost in the world of poetry. With the help of your blog page and a variety of poetry books loaned to us from our fabulous librarian, Mrs. Pierce, we continue to foster a love for the art of poetry. Our 4th grade poets would eagerly, and very willingly, provide a home to your new publication, if we were so lucky to be chosen. Nonetheless, we look forward to starting our day with you each and every morning this month!

Congratulations on The Poem Farm's 7th birthday! There is a school in town that we would like to recommend to receive the ten donated books. The name of the school is Hanley Elementary, and we have been working on some projects with them this year. We look forward to reading more of your poems. <br /><br />-From Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Fruitt's 2nd grade class at Presbyterian Day SchoolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635836022382124609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-38779615083940842182017-03-30T10:02:14.565-04:002017-03-30T10:02:14.565-04:00Happy birthday to The Poem Farm!

I've loved all the themes through the years that you've chosen, but my favorite is still the thrift store year. It was wonderful fun to see what you found. As for the giveaway, I know that Carol Wilcox's school would love the books so I submit that school as an entry.
