Thank you, Mary Lee, for letting us see the connections you are making for your students between poetry and information writing. Now I have some books I want to read...and I really am hoping that one day your young writers might be interested in sharing at The Poem Farm. I am saving this post for my own reference and so that I can share these poems with students I meet and teach. Thank you for your beautiful poem, "Riches," in POEMS ARE TEACHERS...and thank you for sharing the book here today. xxAmy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.com
