I encourage you to take part in one or two National Poetry Month activities with your kiddos this month.  Here are two that are quick and easy.  The act of incorporating poetry into our children's lives further ensures that they will grow to be readers who analyze, critique and create in many different areas of their lives.  

Participate in National Poem in Your Pocket Day on April 30, 2015.

Sign up for Poem-a-Day.
