Can't say I've read it
Don't know if I've heard
But I can tell you teacher
Them there is rhyming words.
This is what your funding will produce from the mouths of my sixth graders that do not have the resources to read the poetry that some students take for granted.
The rural area in which I teach is struggling to keep up with the needs of replacing time honored classics and poetry books are a forgotten need in my school. With NCLB stating that we are to teach the standards pertaining to poetry, there is a definite need for poetry materials.
My children would definitely benefit from the poetry books by Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, Shel Silverstein and others to read and interpret in the classroom.
These rural children need to opportunity to read and enjoy these books that are time honored. Your donation will ensure that these students know that poetry is a great genre of literature that gives great enjoyment.
