Well, National Poetry Month has finally come to an end.  Grades Kindergarten thru 2nd Grade each got to learn about 2 types of poems and this month and we finished it off with a little Reader's Theater. Kindergarten performed Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?.  First Grade performed Martha Doesn't Say Sorry and Second Grade did Hokey Pokey: Another Prickly Love Story.  They had a blast reading their parts and even acting them out a little.  The only disappointment was that there wasn't enough parts for everyone to participate in the reading.  I explained that an audience is also important and that the next time we try this, they will get a turn to read.  I think that they enjoyed Poetry Month quite a bit overall.  Enjoy this picture of our Second Graders
