National
Poetry Month
In honor
of National Poetry Month, introduce your students to a variety of poetic
forms. Assign one or two students each day as “poet of the day” for
the month of April. Then provide students with several models for creating
different forms of poetry. You might use Shape
Poems, Acrostic
Poems, Diamante
Poems, or Instant
Poetry Forms to do this.
Have each
student select one form of poetry and write an original poem, which
he or she can also illustrate. On their assigned days, have students
read their poetry out loud to the class.

Day.
Albert Einstein's 125th birthday is celebrated on March 14, also
dubbed "Pi Day" by some clever mathematicians (March
is the third month of the year, and the first three digits of
pi are 3.14). Although Einstein was well known for his ability
to solve difficult science problems, he felt he wasn't very good
at mathematics. This activity features different ways to understand
and solve many types of problems.
