It’s not quite April 1 yet, but welcome anyway to Kidlit NaPoMo–the 2010 KidLit Celebration of National Poetry Month!<\/p>\n

As usual, there’s a lot going on around the kidlitosphere. Laura Evans of All Things Poetry<\/a> has kindly compiled a list, which I’ve reprinted here, but it’s also posted under the \u201cApril National Poetry Month\u201d button on her website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Let the poetry party commence! (And don’t forget to visit Book Aunt<\/a> this week for Poetry Friday!)<\/p>\n

She will invite other teachers, librarians, students, learners and poets to send her their original teaching and\/or learning poems (or links to their poem posts) for inclusion.

Poetry Tag<\/b> @ Sylvia Vardell’s Poetry for Children<\/a><\/p>\n

For National Poetry Month in April, we\u2019re playing “Poetry Tag” at PoetryForChildren. Sylvia Vardell will be inviting poets to “play” along by offering a poem for readers to enjoy, then “tag” a fellow poet who then shares her\/his own poem THAT IS CONNECTED to the previous poem in SOME way\u2014by a theme, word, idea, tone– and offers a sentence or two explaining that connection. The poets have responded enthusiastically and will be sharing a chain of poems by J. Patrick Lewis, X. J. Kennedy, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Avis Harley, Lee Bennett Hopkins, Joyce Sidman, and more!<\/p>\n

Poetry Postcard Project<\/b> @ Jone MacCulloch<\/a><\/p>\n

Students write a poem which is placed on a postcard. All of the postcards are decorated. If you want one, send Jone (macrush53@yahoo.com) your address and she will mail one to you.<\/p>\n

Share a Poem<\/b> @ Laura Purdie Salas<\/a><\/p>\n
