A Poem In My Pocket Freebie

Here's a quick - last minute - printable for Poem In Your Pocket Day, which is tomorrow!  To print on blue construction paper, cut the construction paper down to 8.5 x 11.  You can put the construction paper in your printer or copier, but it works better to feed the paper one sheet at a time through the bypass (where you would put labels or cardstock).

Instruct your students to cut along the OUTER edge (but NOT in the middle of the pockets!).  Fold in half and glue along the open side and bottom (not the top).

Write your favorite poem on a half sheet of paper, fold it up and keep it in your pocket!

My New Favorite Book

I decided I wanted some new books to read to the class so I submitted a Scholastic Order in February (from the Firefly flier).  I ordered about 8-10 books and read a couple each day last week.  I hadn't read the books before I read them to the class so we all got to hear them together for the first time.  One of the books was Penguin and Pinecone.  I fell in love with this book!!!!   It is just the cutest story ever!

I brought it home and read it to my 12 year old.  We both cried - it is that good!!!  It's not sad, it is just so darn SWEET!!!!

Have you seen this book?  It is a must have!  I am going to order more copies to give as gifts.
