These are heavy times. Our heads + hearts are full of TOO MUCH STUFF. Teaching kids to write poems helps them cope + find joy in everyday things. How about inviting poets to work w/your kids via Zoom? See this video featuring @SageEkere: https://t.co/gQ6hybxer4

Thank you for including me in your video chat and for choosing Gone Camping as your Weaver Reads book! What a lively group of students - great questions and great student poetry! I had a blast! @MrsRoweReads
@MrsJBurgin@APSLibrarians @APS_CDavies Have you tried novels-in-verse? Maybe Planet Middle School by @nikkigrimes9 or Gone Camping by @TameraWissinger . Fewer words on the page are less intimidating but still pack a punch in terms of content and literary quality.
