This year we are going to celebrate all week long! To do so, first, you're going to pick a poem that you like and read it. It can be one that you wrote or one that you found online or in a book. I love this website by poet Kenn Nesbitt where you can even select a poem by length- https://www.poetry4kids.com/poem-length/short/ or by subject- https://www.poetry4kids.com/poems-by-subject/. Then, you're going to share your poem on flipgrid.
