Besides being known as the month we have to pay taxes, April is also poetry month.
At Poets.org, you can register to have a poem-a-day e-mailed directly to you free of charge during the month of April. These poems will feature new work that will be published this spring, so it's a good way to preview some upcoming talent in the world of poetry. Poets.org also offers a plethora of online poetry resources geared towards adults and children alike, including a National Poetry Map that lists facts about poets from your area as well as information about upcoming poetry events.
April 17 is Poem in Your Pocket Day. You can join others across the world by jotting down one of your favorite poems to carry with you.
This is such a beautiful time of year. Maybe students could take some pictures of their local environment and bring them to school for a poetry writing session.
