April is National Poetry Month, and what better way to get your students excited about poetry than hearing about a new poetry book by that book’s author! Laura Salas, the author of the new poetry book Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School, is having an online book launch party today. Check out her launch site to hear her read some of the poems, watch some silly videos, play some games, get teacher resources for her new book (including a readers theater script!), and chat with the author! If you don’t get a chance to visit the site today for the “live” launch, be sure to visit sometime soon as the site will still be posted. Enjoy!
