Young Poets

In February, I taught  my class to write Cinquain poems.  Soon after that I received an invitation from the National Schools Project to submit any poems my children had written.  With parents' permission, I submitted the Cinquains.  In April, many of my students received notification that their poem had been selected to appear (with parents' permission) in the 2011 edition of the Young American Poetry Digest!  A free copy of the book will be sent to Jackson Heights Elementary Library in the Fall.
