It’s Poem in Your Pocket Day at the Gunston Library! Students are stopping by to read us a poem - either one students wrote or found. Readers get a poetry themed prize to celebrate. @APSLibrarians@APSGunston@APS_ELA@Gunston_PTA Great way to end National Poetry Month!
Last week we had a blast creating Blackout Poetry in the library with @GMS_Montessori. Great way to practice using figurative language while also allowing room for visual artistic expression. @APSLibrarians@APS_ELA@APSGunston@Gunston_PTA Happy National Poetry Month!
