One of the squares of the School Library Month Bingo was Book Spine Poetry. Making poems out of the titles of books! These are just a few examples the students created. 📚💙

It’s officially National Poetry Month with "A Pickle for a Poem" @ Wallace! 📖🥒 At 8am, this student’s rhyme was short and sweet, so he got a tasty pickle to eat! Shout out to our LITE for making poetry shine. #RISDdreambig@kristinleeper9@IamBranum@MirskyLibrary
