It was delightful to celebrate the last day of poetry month outside with my students. And we even welcomed Mr. Sunshine to our celebration. With temperatures in the 80s, it was an absolutely perfect day for Chalk-a-bration!

Chalk-a-bration with 6th graders!
Today I join Betsy Hubbard for Chalk-a-bration. I participated in two previous chalk-a-brations, once by myself and once with the children of a friend. When I realized this morning that today was chalk-a-bration, I scrapped my lesson plans and encouraged my students to search for or to write sidewalk poetry to share.
