April was Poetry Month!

In April, we celebrated Poetry Month in the library. Students in the Primary classes read and shared poems from a wide range of poetry books. There are some wonderful poets whose poetry resonate with the kids, Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky, and of course, Dennis Lee, a Canadian. To mark the end of hockey season for many Canucks fans and the beginning of baseball season, Intermediate classes learned about Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. The students heard the poem first and then saw a 1946 Disney cartoon on it.
