Poetry in the Classroom or This Stuff’s For Girls
Back in my teaching days, poetry was one of my favorite things to share with my students. Despite the state or school I happened to be teaching in at the time, the response was almost always the same: poetry was for girls and was about flowers and love.
If you’d like to read more, please link over to E. Kristin Anderson’s blog where I’m guest posting on teaching poetry.
Congrats to Sherrie! Love this photo! I’m heading over to check out your guest post!

I love that photo, especially how you blended in with the kids. I had to look twice to find you!
Congrats, Sherrie.
