Welcome to the second issue of Connect 3: Online Resources for Students, Teachers and Families.
In honor of National Poetry Month, this week’s focus is poetry. In challenging times, reading poetry can provide comfort and connection. Writing poems can help us express our deepest thoughts and emotions.
1: Students
For ages 8 and up, these activities provide an opportunity for students to read poems about heritage, learn about different poetry elements and write their own heritage poems.
2: Teachers
Use Who Am I? Identity Poems, an elementary lesson, to help students explore different aspects of their identity through reading and writing poetry.
3: Families and Communities
Explore heritage and culture by reading and discussing our Book of the Month I Remember: Poems and Pictures of Heritage, which includes conversation starters and talking points for families.
If you have a moment, we welcome any feedback and ideas for resources that would be helpful to you.
We continue to send best wishes for safety and good health to all.
