Working at the library today, we started to set up for April, National Poetry Month. We’re not really big on poetry… I must confess… but the boss had a great idea. She has some old metal trays and I spent some quality time on Amazon buying magnetic poetry kits. Since I promoted it at the school this morning, I had to set them up to be ready for the afternoon classes of kids.
So the setup looks like this.
A stand, a tray, and a set of magnetic words. I bought different sets including Nature, Haiku, Poet, Book Lover, Large Print, Kid Genius, Story Maker (for little kids – has sentence phrases), Geek, Pirate, and, yes, Zombie! I had set up some words to kick off imaginations… and by the end?
And this…
and this…
The Zombie had been picked up, forgot to take a photo of pirate… but this!
This is my favorite!!!!!
Read that as “Open the book. Tell the world that magic wanders. Create a new page, chapter, and story. Love a library. Write a dream.”
Fantastic!!!!
****Side note. I’m taking a little trip tomorrow, but neverfear! I have a great guest post planned! So great, in fact, that you have the chance to WIN a marvelous prize. I guarantee a laugh or two on top of that, so you can’t lose! Come back tomorrow for sure!****
